      <description>&lt;P&gt;I am sick for the first time since my husband passed away and have a prescription to take which scares me without him here since I have some odd reactions to drugs. It's always baby steps and sometimes one forward and two back...&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;blondgirl, if you are new to the Widow's thread, may I say that I'm grateful you found your way here, especially today. It is scary to face serious things alone. If you have questions about your new medication, perhaps either your doctor or the pharmacist could help you. I don't blame you for being fearful. My hubby went Home nearly 5 years ago. Things are getting easier for me. Making a new reality, but it's not the same and never will be. I live with my DD and that's a blessing. Please come back and let us know how you are doing. You will find much love here, even if we have to wade through this new system.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;snappy&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi 10grands, it wasn't easy to find you, but here we are. I don't like this system. Don't begin to understand it, but it is what it is as they say. Hang in there and we will figure out a way to stay together. This thread is too important to be lost. Love, snappy&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;possummink, we found our way here. Wasn't easy for me, but I'll keep trying. This thread has so much to offer all of us that we must stay together. The picture of the house with all that ivy on it looked to me like it had Mickey Mouse ears!! Hope your day is going well. DD#1 and her hubby are on their way to the desert for a few days so stopped by to see the house now that it has been painted. Take care...love, snappy&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;goldens, so good to see you. I don't find this user friendly at all, and also want the old posts back. I'm used to scrolling through them and making notes with pen on paper so I remember important things like a date when someone will be seeing a doctor or travelling or a significant date that is hard like an anniversary. I guess we have to play it their way if we are to stay together, and we must do that. So many are helped here or offer help to others. Blessings on you this day, dear friend.&amp;nbsp; snappy&lt;/P&gt;</description>
