We just wait for the latest storm to put the branches on the ground for us 
Usually get a nice assortment of cedar, fir and pine. Now and then, the whole tree, so we're set for years

Well another night sleeping in the recliner. Ginny has a really bad head cold and her nose gets all plugged up unless she is on the hospital bed with her head up. So instead of her sleeping down here by herself I just sleep in the recliner so when I wake up I can check on her. Been doin it for about a week. Gdaughter is here leaves tomorrow for home. Heres our little GGranson already for the game but they lost which it figured beat the best team and lost to the worst one.
@clnire, congrats on 6 years!
I watched the whole season straight through (except for falling asleep for a while and having to go back to catch up). It was wonderful!

Awww, what a great picture! And look how big Jash is getting!
Ginny has some hair!!! I will be watching to see how it grows. Since my hair is already unruly, mine will likely get downright curly. And my survivor cousin will be ten kinds of green from jealousy.

And yet another night in the recliner. Don't remember what a bed is like.
Ya know I am really afraid of what the future holds. I don't know if I will be able to handle it. I hope I will but what if I can't? Just watch the later stages of SCLC it is not pretty. Don't know if I will be able to see her in that condition. I do not have a strong mind when it comes to seeing the love of my life go throu these changes. I keep hoping they made a mistake and this is really not happening. I try to live day to day but knowing how bad things will eventually get

When I first had my legs amputated she stayed in the recliner with me for a month. I was so scared without legs. Didn't see an end to it but I eventually was able to crawl on my hands and knees up the 7 stairs to the bedroom and was able to put my knee pads on to get to the bathroom. But I wasn't facing a terminal disease.

Legs, you need to get some counseling to learn to stop those thoughts. Learn to enjoy each day to the fullest, no matter what it brings.
@3mg Meniere, With all due respect I don't think it's possible to stop these thoughts whith what @2legsshrt is facing. I know because I had the same thoughts when I found out about my son's heart condition. In fact, my son's therapist told hubs and I that these are very normal thoughts when a loved one is battling a terminal disease. But she also said what your second line says: It IS possible with help to "Learn to enjoy each day to the fullest, no matter what it brings."
Patrick, google Online Support for Cancer Caregivers. You need to connect with people who are going through this or have gone through it.
I totally agree! You can't stop those thoughts, but you can learn to handle them and focus on enjoying as much as you can of each day. Try not to waste the time you do have together.
Excellent suggestion. With the exception of some online forums I frequent, I'm not a group joiner but an online mothers-whose-child-died group helped me.
@2legsshrt misery truly loves company and it really helps to talk with people who are going through the same thing.
I agree, I think some therapy could possibly help some. Waiting for the antidepressants to kick in. Day 4 today, but I could use someone to talk to face to face..I think a psychologist would do it. Don't need a psychiatrist cause I don't need anymore drugs. They have a pill for everything these days. I didn't make it to my leg appointment yesterday. I came down with some kind of creeping crud. I was going to try to make it anyway but I felt so bad. Sore throat, cough and just generally bad all over. I feel like it is better today somewhat which I hoped for and they got me another appointment for 1/9/19. So it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I was expecting to have to wait at least a month. The infection is almost gone, its about the size of a dime or a little smaller. I need to get the new sockets and I talked to my old leg man and he said this doc is excellent since he is an amputee also and that is all he sees, and he teaches at the University also.
Man Ginny got some caramel bars at Costco and they are amazing. The bottom layer is like a type of homemade shortbread then a layer of the creamiest caramel I have ever tasted, it doesn't stick to your plates and it is not super sweet then a layer of milk chocolate. Talk about decadent, these are so good except for possibly making you sick by eating too many they are addictive. If you go to Costco see if you can find them, I'm sure they are a seasonal thing so first come first serve. Each layer is about 3/8 of an inch thick.
OK I emailed my doctor to see if she could put me in touch with someone who takes Medicare and deals with these kinds of problems.
We are both concerned about these 10 radiation treatments to her brain. While it is good for preventing this cancer from sneaking back to the brain there are also concerns about side effects. I'm sure if you let the doc know about our concerns with it she will say things will be fine but of course that doesn't make it any less concerning. I'm also sure that others had the same concerns.
perhaps I should have been more specific. It is the obsession with those thoughts that can be stopped. My bad.
I am getting my first chemo today, and am confident that they have a plan in place in case I start going into anaphylactic shock. Yes my fear. I need to ask.
