Poor guy, give him big hugs Colleen

well at least the end is near and hope they have him on vitamins as radiation really does a job on the bones and he needs them Hubby's dad had cancer and I took care of him for awhile and he was prescribed lots of vitamins and those supplement drinks for strong healthy bones //Radiation does a job on the bones

Strontium citrate, vitamin D and calcium (calcium and strontium taken not at the same time) Is a good bone density builder. I have been using it instead of the biophospates

Johns has tons of vitamins and supplements and he has these special meal replacement drinks. I try to take good care of my sweet pea, ll wish he would eat more veggies but right now it's just mostly mashed potatoes and slow cooked beef. He is very very fussy about food right now and can't have anthing acid or lumpy, so I ban mix the slow cook roast beef with the juice so it can just slip down the throat.

Something funny going on in town at Cresent Heights High School, they would not let the kids off the bus this morning and they sent the buses away and took the kids back home. News not saying too much other than a "situation" at the school and that is it! School is shut down and another school further north at Rocky Mountain House is reporting a "situation" and closed the school, no word on what happened. Will let you know as soon as I find out.

So glad to hear John is almost done w/ that awful stuff they are doing to him. You will take good care of him I know.

I'm hearing all kinds of stuff from friends about schools all over the place getting threats and also creeps showing up on school grounds so they end up closing some and sending kids home. Some are keeping their kids home for awhile.

They just arrested a kid down here for making threats to a school.

Yesterday two schools closed down due to gun threats. People just crazy, no end in sight to weirdo's!

Look at how nice this room is, it is the front porch and I painted it the darkest blue I could find a couple years back, and it makes the Christmas stuff so nice! I just love all my Christmas balls, I spend hours making it look just right. Hubby loves it, tree doing awesome, water it with pond water, still smells so darn fresh. House may be old but I can make it look nice with all my Christmas junk I have collected over the years. Love my little old small house!

 

[sissy]

Well done.

Thank you to all you guys who liked my home, old but cosy. I was getting depressed and stressed over my husband John's illness, as the radiation treatments are making him very week and sick. I am going to stay postive and keep things as "normal" as possible, no matter how I feel. Live everyday like it may be our last, nobody knows what tomorrow will bring, so I will cherish every day I have with my beloved cranky sick hubby.

I painted that room the darkest blue on the color palet. I was not afraid to paint a color that dark, makes the old wood molding stand out nice. I had nothing to lose, house was very ugly and so any paint was better than what I had. Be not afraid of color for your walls. After christmas I will paint the bathroom some exciting new aqua Marine color maybe, or perhaps a nice sea green. Have not decided yet, but it will be a bold color when I am done.

The decorations are old, the tree is fresh. I like my old Christmas decorations, makes Christmas more special. I take good care of them and put them away each year. I do buy a few new decorations.... AFTER Christmas!

I enjoy seeing a tree at Christmas and just wish I could be more like you Colleen .I just lost the spirit of it .We moved down here to be near hubbies family and his mom died on fathers day a year after we moved here and then his dad died on mothers day of the next year and then both of my beloved dogs died with in two years of that .But I do have king arthur now and pee wee.The king was a rescue from the shelter and pee wee was my flea market find .I guess time just flies by more than you think .But get to enjoy the lights and trees in the doctors offices and your beautiful tree .I guess we all have our bad times but we get through them and glad you got spirit Colleen and sure your hubby draws from that spirit you have . :razz: Even the rum filled chocolate high :razz:

My sweet monster DOggy Saddie past away two weeks before last Christmas, we took it hard. Me and my hubby just loved Sadie. when people asked how she was, I would run away and cry. It was horrible. People who don't love dogs like us could not understand how it could hurt so bad. The my honey got the growth in his mouth. At first the doctors said it was not cancer. Then it grew bigger every week. Then they said it was cancer, but it was just a little bit and not bad and radiation would not be needed. Then when we got to the Tom Baker center in Calgary, they said it was big bad cancer and needed to be operated on very soon.
I was in shock, and was very scared for my honey. I cried my eyes out and thought I will never get through this and lost all my energy to do anything. Back in late September, he had the big 15 hours surgery. I slept in the back of truck in hospital parking lot just so I could be near him in case it went bad. I walked around the hospital like a zombie with very red eyes. I never though we would get though this, could not see the end in sight. But now he is home and I feel so much better, even though the treatments are making him sick, it will be over soon and all a very bad memory. I can't even think about what if? That does not register right now, cause right now I have him home safe, on the couch, with a big blanket and tv on, one day at a time, sweet Jesus, that's all I'm asking from you...

You too Sissy will find your strength again... it just takes time, the shock of everything is still very new for you. God bless you and your hubby tonight, have a peaceful Christmas evening.
