Hi, @eojeda1 - you do sound like a real fighter, and you've already been through a lot with your health and your husband's.

My husband's aunt and uncle built their own home years ago in Minnesota lake country, and I have to say I'm extremely impressed by people who build their own homes.

I realize you are being checked for thyroid cancer and do not have a diagnosis. However, if you're interested in reading about it or chatting with others who have this diagnosis or have been tested for it, you might check out this Mayo Clinic Connect support group:

Thank you! I greatly appreciate the information. We built a barndominium. Lots of interior work to do now, but I did manage to get flooring and trim in the bedrooms. I am now working on the flooring upstairs. Laying wood floors is no easy task. I think keeping busy with this project while taking care of my husband has helped me take a mental reprieve from the seriousness of our situation. My teenage son has been a help. He was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 2. Unfortunately, he does not wake for alarms when he pitches highs and lows, so I am often treating him during the nights when the alarm goes off. Life is complex, but crying won't help, and blessings do come in different ways. You just have to wait for them! Remember, when you think you have it hard, someone else has it harder. Truth is that I am lucky to be alive as I suffered multiple strokes in 2019. It left me with various deficiencies, but we adapt. This is why we need to help and encourage each other to persevere no matter what.
