Husbands

I have the most wonderful husband.  He does all the cooking, grocery shopping, laundry, takes the kids to appointments, goes on field trips and soooooooooooo much more.  But unfortunately, he has the most annoying habit.

He can go days without having a conversation with me.  The minute I get on the phone or the computer or start reading a book, he wants to talk.  And talk he does.  About anything and everything.  And nothing I want to hear about.  If I ask about how the kids did, he will say ok.  If I ask what's for dinner, he will explain in great detail how he was searching the internet for a pie recipe and came across this recipe for a casserole.  He then relays the step by step instruction on how to prepare it.

He is aware of this problem.  He even suggested that I blog about it.  Thinks it might help.

So here I am blogging about his problem and he walks up and gives me step by step instructions on how to get to downtown Pittsburgh.  I am not going to downtown Pittsburgh.  He is.  Tomorrow.

I love him, so I listen.

I Have Cancer Too!

 I don't physically have cancer. My husband has cancer.  I also have the denial.  I have the anger. So much anger.  I am scared. He will suffer so much. I am scared that he will make the decision for no aggressive treatment. He actually told me that he didn't want it. I cry. I cry alone away from him. I have to have a brave face for him. I take his anger as if  I deserve it.  I want to scream. I don't want us to be on this path. Is anybody listening?

Welcome to the World of Cancer

     My husband has had a cough and trouble breathing for a couple of months. I asked him on several occasions to call his doctor. We were camping with some friends and he started coughing and then quit breathing. That was a wake up call.      I had a doctor appointment and he went with me. He was telling the nurse what was going on. They immediately took him back and did x-rays and blood work. That was a Tuesday. On Wednesday they called and said they had scheduled at CAT scan for Friday.  They called on Monday and said we had to go to Pittsburgh on Wednesday for a biopsy. On Friday June 17, 2022 we got the call. Small cell carcinoma. Three masses. One in the left lung the size of a gold ball. Two more in the right lung. We are scheduled to go to the Oncologists on June 28. He will have a PET scan before that appointment. So just like that our world is in a tail spin. Are you listening?

Am I A Racist?

So in my previous post I said that this was the worst year ever. Karma took that as a challenge. A white cop killed a black man for basically no reason. People of color began to protest. A white supremacist group decided to step that up a notch and caused rioting. There were many peaceful protests in this valley. Last night a woman decided she was going to drive through the middle of a peaceful protest. She was detained by a white cop who then let her go because there was not enough evidence to arrest her. IT WAS FILMED AND PUT ON TV. So if things aren't bad enough with my stress level at DEFCON 3 my son decides to have a mental breakdown and accuses me of being a racist and a Trump supporter. Now I must tell you that his 3 beautiful children and his wife are people of color. I love them with all my heart. So you can imagine how this broke my heart. What started it? He made a Facebook post about Donald Trump's father. I researched it to see if it was valid. It was in part val...
