Thanks Steve, I was offered Bruno before.

At 30 you would think my son would have known better. Maybe, it's the fear of the future, and what it might bring. He has many of the health issues, I have. Being male his AS will be that much worse (his symptoms started when he was 16), maybe that scares him.

Maybe it's the thought of not being able to deal with pain without the help of medication (because of allergies), scares him.

I have my family here who understands. They have help me immensely this past week. The hurt from my son's comments, will never fade, for that reason I told his brother (Jason), they will not be told anything further about my health. I can't deal with the abuse, inflected on me, from them knowing.

hugs
