A year ago my husband and I were thinking he had a brain infection. Everything started late November last year when he had a seizure, I was thinking a stroke. As time went on and what ever was cloudy in his brain cleared, it was a brain tumor. We had it biopsied and the results was a brain cancer. He had surgery to remove what they could of the tumor. Four or five weeks later began the radiation and chemo. It seemed like every time we turned around there was a doctor appointment. He lost a lot of weight and strength, which left me doing the things he use to do. I am not complaining, very grateful to do it. The last MRI was no change
. So we are ending this year with lots of gratitude that the good Lord has given us this time together.
There were two or three failed quits during this time. This one is going well, knock on wood. There are many reason to quit and I think I written about most of them at one time or another. The focus I have with this quit is when his cancer returns, which they say it will, I want to be there for him and not wondering when and if I can get away to smoke. While doing this I am receiving all the benefits of the quit.
We welcomed a new granddaughter into our lives, I leaned that I can mow the yard, and even start it. I found out I can make a long drive and not scare hubby to death LOL. So all in all life is good.
This is no way a piety post. I know that some have wondered what happened because of other posts. You know life only comes our way once, use it well. Be grateful, hug someone, tell someone they are love, tell some they matter, and life each day with an open mind and heart.
