Among Friends

Hi Snappy and Friends:

We finally hit some 80 degree weather this week and here it is almost the end of July. Don't envy you Possummink with all the lightning storms, they are my worst nightmare and I have to admit I don't like it when the heat is unbearable. Our warmest month is coming up August then it usually gets into the 90's.

I like your Sister am a greatgrandmother three times now, two girls and one boy. All three are just adorable and remind me our family continues to grow and prosper. Life goes on.

I know exactly how you feel  Snappy  I too was really scared,  but once you go and find out the program you will rest easy because you will know what to expect and its not as bad as you imagined.  I have you and your Sister in my nightly prayers for God to heal and help you both. He hears our prayers and will provide for you.

This has been a really hard time for me lately, I have had my DH on my mind so much lately almost like he is reaching out to me for some reason. For the first time in a long time I had a dream about him and he was home again and well.  It was silly.  I remember I was trying to explain why all his clothes except for a couple special things I kept,were gone.  Maybe it's just wishful thinking still miss him so much.

Enjoy the rest of the week and stay cool and safe.

Hi possummink, thank you for your prayers and thoughts. We ran into lots and lots of traffic yesterday, but were on time. The place is just like it was when hubby was treated there and so are the people. They remember all of us. Both my girls were with me.

I have to go there on Monday to have a CT scan to show them just where the cancer is, and to have a "bolus" made. It's something that will cover my nose during treatments to keep the radiation from going too deep. They will try to get insurance authorization to begin treatments next week. Five days a week for six weeks. She said it's a cure.

The first 3 weeks there will be no side effects, then my nose will be red and inside will be dry and may bleed. It also may feel stuffed up and that's my biggest concern since I'm not a mouth breather. But there are things they can do to help and I'll trust the Lord and take it one day at a time. When it's healed, she said the nose will look beautiful....that will be an improvement!

It was good to see the people there even though there there are lots of memories from hubby's time there. I like and trust them and that counts for a lot.

Sorry you are having such hot weater. It's around 100 here and very dry.

Drove through the car wash earlier. Poor old dirty car looks better.

Hi to everyone and thank you for praying for me.

Hi Silkeej, so nice to hear from you today. It's very hot and dry out here, so I'm grateful for the AC and that it continues to work after nearly 30 years!

How nice to have little GGkids. My GD who got married last month wants to have a baby in the next year. She's already 31 and has wanted a child for years. So maybe I'll get to see the next generation.

My appointment yesterday went well. Such a familiar place and for the most part the same people. The doctor was very reassuring. As I told possummink, this is a cure.

If this were anywhere else on my body, they would just cut it out and that would be the end of it, but it's on my nose.

Monday they do a CT scan and make what she called a bolus to cover the nose to keep the radiation from going too deep into me. Two minute treatments. It's a long way from home, but they are good and that' where I have to go. Arranging drivers once DD has to go back to school is a bit tricky, but DD#1 is already at work on that and the Lord will provide.

I rarely dream about my hubby and when I do, he doesn't interact with anyone or he is mean. And he was never mean. It's not surprising to dream about his "stuff". It's hard to give away what they leave behind. I had a dream like that early on when we got rid of so much that he had collected in the garage. Sorry this is a hard time for you, but it will pass. Part of the process of adjustment we go through. Take care.
