I feel like I've aged a couple of more years in the last week.

It was a long fearful time ... but unfortunately the night has only just begun.

(2,593 posts)Scared to death about Ryan's plans to gut Medicare as my husband has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. We were already facing an uncertain future dealing with the progression of his illness and now this.
I guess I can only take it a day at a time.

(5,242 posts)I cannot watch the "President-Elect" and have no desire to do so.
I sneak little sessions on TV to keep up with developments, but foresee a bleak four years.
Disheartening, too, because I'm senior enough that I may not get another chance to see another Democratic president.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
