Christmas 2020 was very different from previous Christmas’s. COVID-19 restrictions required that we not get together in groups, not inside or outside. Dave’s continued health decline created it’s own challenges in moving both inside and outside of the house. Good thing that we were able to move back into the upstairs kitchen, which seemed toContinue reading “Christmas with family”

The 4+ Year Reno
It’s sometimes hard be believe that we have been living in a reno zone for over 4 years, but it’s true. Things are starting to come together thanks to my Father-in-Law. It appears that we might just be able to eat in the dining room for Christmas this year. With all of the challenges weContinue reading “The 4+ Year Reno”
It’s okay to be okay

The Raw Truth, Glioblastoma is @#*%)!
November 17 oncology appointment was not happy news. Tumor is still growing, Dave is trying the next option.
Rage, frustration and sadness
Deterioration of abilities creates rage, frustration and anger. Adaptation is hard when you haven’t had to adapt to body changes much in your life. I think this impacts men much differently from women, especially women who have had children, but then I have never completely lost the use of a limb. Over the last 3Continue reading “Rage, frustration and sadness”

New chemotherapy, let’sContinue reading “Summer Stability”
And we thought 2019 was bad…2020 can just (insert your own expletive)
The last few days have been exceptionally hard for us. Confronting your own mortality at 40 isn’t something that we are prepared to do. Usually you are confronting the mortality of Grandparents, or maybe parents, but not usually your own. Now I have to prepare you that no one is dying immediately, but with theContinue reading “And we thought 2019 was bad…2020 can just (insert your own expletive)”
