    Devastated with Diagnosis

    in INTRODUCE YOURSELF!

    Posted

    I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I know exactly how you are feeling because I have been there myself. Yes, keeping a positive attitude during this process is critical for you and your entire family. All I can suggest at this point is to take it one day at a time and try your best not to let any negative thoughts entire your mind. Hard to say yes, but you gotta try. Coming to this board during the time my husband was fighting this monster was so very helpful to me. I had so much love and support from the members here.

    Please keep us updated ((hugs))

    Just checking in. I can only access lcsc from my pc and not my laptop for some reason and this is why I can't be here much. Sitting in a wheel chair with my leg hanging toward the floor is painful. I'll be back as soon as I'm able. Hope everyone is doing well :)

    Monday Air

    in JUST FOR FUN

    Posted

    It's been very cold here the past two weeks and now it looks like we might have a couple days of 60's temp which is certainly welcome. I've heard that they expect this winter snow to be worse than in many years past. Coming here from Calif what we had last year was pure torture. I plan to fully stock up on food then because I'm scared out of my mind to drive in snow or ice.

    Russ started a part time job a few weeks ago which seems to have turned into full time plus :( But, I have lot's of time to clean and re-arrange the house now I guess. I just feel like I need to have some fun....this ex-city girl gets bored out of her mind living in a tiny country town.

    Sampson has been acting up since Russ went back to work. He's getting into the garbage cans and just generally being a very bad dog! Hopefully he'll adjust soon huh? Either that....or into the cage again!

    Happy Monday everyone!

    Hi everyone! Sorry for not posting lately. Preparing for winter here takes a lot of work and it feels like we're about ready for snow. Living in Calif all my life and coming here sure is a big change! The last two winters I helped cut down trees and split wood for the stove but I told Russ that I'm not helping this year. He has plenty of men friends to help :) I wanted to experience it and I did indeed, but I don't like it! LOL

    With the weather getting colder I've been dragging out all my soup recipes. Already made a few of them. I love soups!

    Our dog Sampson just might have a girlfriend soon. A friend of ours also has a mini sheltie that will be coming in heat soon so we plan to breed them and I get the pick of the litter. Not sure if I even want another one because it's totally impossible to keep up with all the hair loss in the house. I don't EVER even attempt to wear the color black anymore. Not good for my asthma either :(

    Well, I hope everyone has a good day and I look forward to hearing about your adventures!

    Four years tomorrow

    in GRIEF

    Posted

    Well, it's been 4 long years tomorrow. It feels like the longest four years of my life. I have worked very hard to try and re-build a new existence for myself but it continues to be a daily struggle. My "new life" as I call it is far from what I had with Don and I don't want to compare but sometimes I wonder if I will ever have that feeling of total happiness again. I ask myself if this is just the best it's ever going to be and should I just accept it and cherish the memories of what used to be? I wish I had someone to talk to about Don. Sometimes when I try to tell a story to someone I know here they just have a second of silence and then want to talk about something else. I don't know if it's because they never knew him or if they feel uncomfortable with the topic.

    Many of my things from moving here are still in boxes and stored in the basement. Today I went down there and opened up what I had labeled as my "memories". Many of the items I don't even remember placing in there but it did bring me some comfort as well as a few tears. There was a photo from a time I had taken Don to a place called Buffalo Bills. It was a dinner house that had a western type of show on stage. It was his Birthday so they took him on stage, put a cowboy hat on him and the saloon girls danced around him and posed for this photo. He was so thrilled that night and the picture was really sweet. For those of you on FB, I will post it for you to see.

    I moved here to Illinois 18 months after Don passed to be closer to my son who had been here about 1 year before I followed. I had hopes of re-building my relationship with him but that didn't work out so well when I told him the "Bank of Mom" was closed. I feel a double loss because of it since we haven't spoken in almost two years now.

    Well, enough of my pity party.....think I'm going to pour myself a cold one. Thanks for reading!
