Hey Thanks, It helps to talk also I understand, but I have a hard time with that too lately. Perhaps things will calm down. Nancy

@macbeth and @shortshot80 I wish you strength on the roller coaster of caregiving. If our journeys were flat, smooth, and easy everyone would want to join us 🙂

It is not a ride to enjoy, but knowing there will be hills to climb and steep drops we will encounter helps when they come.

I had to really retrain myself to listen better to my own emotions and let them guide me rather than me trying to always bury them.

I send you strength and peace

For the past several weeks, my husband has had bad headaches, then his eyes were hurting. Then he felt the back of his head and said he could feel a "lump" inside his scull at the neck line. His neck also really itched, (all the cancers he has had, has had severe itching) so, I called the doc and we saw him yesterday. He gave Bob a shot in the back of his neck of cortizone (sp) and has scheduled a cat scan for him for next week. We shall see! Am I worried? Yes! Also for my son Richard with his bone marrow red cells making too many red ones. Am I worried about my problems? Yes! But I can't do anything about them for the minute. Today I had to go to Portland, to Oral surgeon, does that hurt? Yes, have to go back and finish in couple weeks. It is a 90 mile ride each way. Am I tired? Yes. Husband gave his two cents worth on the 2 # bar of cheese that he saw in the frig! Why did I buy that, when we already had one. Cause it only cost $4.50, instead of $8.00. So with out any more discussion, I pulled out a pan, cut up some frozen bacon, white onion,
yellow pepper, cooked it all up and added it to cooked macoroni, added A bunch of chopped up cheese, cooked it till melted and put a
"large" spoonful on a plate with some cucombers and gave it to him. (I'm tired can't spell, sorry) Would you believe it he wanted more!
I done for the night. Hugs to whom ever needs one) I DO!

Good morning, @shortshot80. Sorry this hug is late. I hope it helps just as much with a cup of morning coffee. I wish you a day with some sunshine and a smile from someplace. I will hold your husband in my thoughts. My wife's headaches were always problematic.

Thanks for the smile too! I remember a day my wife was insistent I get to the grocery store to buy all the ingredients to make enchiladas. Looked up a recipe (I am a terrible cook), got all the ingredients the next day, and proudly wheeled her into the kitchen to visit with me while I put them out to begin cooking her meal. She lit into me -- with why did you buy all that (insert explicative) unnecessary stuff! The cans are still in my cupboard 🙂

I am glad your husband ate and ate well! Sounds to me like some dynamite comfort food to me! 🙂

Comfort, peace, and strength to you both,

Thank you Indiana Scott. This morning is a little better for me, I have to just hold my retorts to my husband. He isn't feeling too sharp either. We will be married 66 years next month. Things just keep going. I'm not feeling to sharp either, Need to have another cat scan to see if any of the cancer has grown. Feel like I'm getting a cold, or something. Being married this long, we sometimes share little barbs with one another. Making spaghetti tonight. Nancy

@shortshot80 Nancy ... pasta here tonight too 🙂

I am convinced if my wife and I had agreed on everything all the time and not suffered a few slings and arrows we'd have left one another early on!

Thanks for the smile!

Scott
