November and memories

 OMG it is November already I can not believe it! How about some catching up I am great, our New pup just had her No baby operation sad but she is doing ok. Things are finally more normal wow it has been 3 years since shopping and eating out or having any fun day out it seems. I was sick then cancer treatment then Covid then ovarian cyst removal and losing my best friend through it all My basset Barnaby Who I still miss so much!

. The holidays bring back so. many memories The cooking smells, fresh pine of trees at Christmas I have probably said it before but a lot of comfort for me comes from smells and sounds. Like nearing kids playing in The area outside or during the summer radio and smells or The BBQ. In spring lilacs and Roses.

Thanksgiving Turkey moms French meat stuffing. For Christmas too.  it is funny I suppose but I am so grateful that classic Christmas songs and movies are still popular Wonderful memories..  other comforting things for me are laundry hanging outside in the sun, fall wet leaves the smell of a dog or the aftershaves or perfumes of people you love and smoke from a fire keeping homes warn on a long winter night.

Well anyway, Thanksgiving is almost here the day after two years ago was My last chemo treatment thanksgiving has been very special, and being very thankful for remission for 2 years now, and my friend's family husband, and now Chosette our New pup I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season.

I love the holiday season so much and memories seem to be the theme this year as it has  in the past from new memories to pet memories and childhood memories

Birthday thoughts

Well it is my birthday, and my thoughts go to how grateful I am for another year. I mean, cancer a couple of years ago is still in remission, and close call with ovarian cysts (the testing did come back as pre-cancerous which means that like with my Lymphoma we will need yearly testing, which is ok of course).     Like I said, I feel so blessed with friends and family who prayed, I am so lucky so blessed and so grateful to have so many wonderful people in my life.  Thank you and hugs all.

Well, it might be rainy but the day is so beautiful with birthday wishes on Facebook, a new pup wanting to play and licking my face to wake me, and my husband and best friend to share the day with. On top of all that I Love fall! I cannot wait for the colors in our area to come out and make every thing beautiful and crisp and full of magic. I Love fall, pumpkin spice and jack o'lanterns, artists all over making creative pumpkin creations with lights twinkling inside, kids trick or treating on Halloween in very cool costumes from stores of princess and knights and movie characters, or wonderfully artistic, creative home-made costumes. And the smells of Mom's stuffing recipes on Thanksgiving.

We have spent so many wonderful days at the ocean and bay, we even went once since getting our pup. I love the sound of the waves and watching the boats and wildlife. We went several different places getting some beautiful pics.

Some fall up dates

I am making 2 coloring books, one a basset hound coloring book featuring Barnaby and another about hope.

I keep a journal so I decided to make a collection with some of my art and photography. 

Always remember to watch for sales on top of shop pages.

September update 2021

 so what A month September has been so far. First my surgery well Th cce day was rainy I was very scared have not had A surgery since I was a child under 6. We got to the hospital and right off they said Jonathan can not come ibecause of Covid protocols agai,iwas so upset I began to cry my anxiety at its highest ever I just wanted to leave to hell with it a ll. They let Jon in for a few minutes to sort stuff out t diont expect him up in the surgery area but at least get to where I check in and maybe able to sit down in the main lobby. Well anyway at least we got a student to come and assist to get me to where I need to be.i hate being so afraid all the time or having these qwer panic attacks.i also think The loosing our Barnaby and Jonathan emergency surgery took alot out of me.on top of working if This surgery on mt ovaries was cancer or not

So anyway I got up to my surgery I saw my surgeon before it and she kelt in front of everything will be ok they will take good care of me they had called Jonathan as well and let me have my phone to text him. So I got prepped by some nice nurses I also net The students who also would be in the room. And befor I knew it all done. Still nervous with all around me I did feel glad it was over. The surged said all week great No career bu. t will be testing The tumors to see if pre cancer cells exist. After hour of recovery I got wheeled to car and mt wonderful husband' (in case wondering it wa's laperscopic 4 holes and taken out through one of them on My right side . and of course the. pain was mostly there )

I am feeling much better pain is almost gone and emotionaly I am ok but embarrassed that I get that  anxiose. We did find out The test in lab snowed pre cancer cells. So I will be having tests during The year and have a oncology doctors one for my uterus and other for blood cancer lots of tests but is ok.I feel blessed cancer free for now.

We also got a- New baby a poogle or beagle poo she is a pup a few months old we are  IIIn love she is so cute. And she has been The Best medicine so much Love - well fall is coming mt favorite time of year.

' Up date August

So lots has happened I met with my doctor at women's and infants a top In ovarian cancer and The surgery. Surgery is The first week OF September it will be laparoscopic unless cancer the it will change to normal surgery and I will have all My female parts removed in there. .

Hey look the got a bell at the infusion center to ring when done treatment.

This week was full of appointments for US both I had a check up so my family doc could sign that I was healthy enough for surgery. I also had another port flush I can't wait to finally get this port removed. Also This week Jonathan had his yearly check up and he had an appointment with his doc that did his surgery for a-check. So it was a very busy week. 

We have been on ww for a couple Mo now and doing very well losing Weight. 

 Still missing our Basset Barnaby I still cry so often. 

Lets see what else The Covid issue is happening again some stares have full hospitals kids units full. I feel so sad for the children under twelve who cont get the vaccines. And because so many miss-informed adults not getting vaccinated and hurting these kids. We also now because of those Who chose not to get vaccinated May need to get boosters. When people . Try

And claim beliefs or that you tube is smarter than docs and scientists I think OF This story of '

 The Drowning Man 

 

A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.

Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, "Jump in, I can save you."

The stranded fellow shouted back, "No, it's OK, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me."

So the rowboat went on.

Then a motorboat came by. "The fellow in the motorboat shouted, "Jump in, I can save you."

To this the stranded man said, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."

So the motorboat went on.

Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, "Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety."

To this the stranded man again replied, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."

So the helicopter reluctantly flew away.

Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, "I had faith in you but you didn't save me, you let me drown. I don't understand why!"

To this God replied, "I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?" (Truthbook.com)

Get vaccinated! God gave you doctors, scientists, and a vaccine, don't be standing at Heaven's gate asking why.

Jonathan surgery and barnaby passed away.

 The first week of July sucked was so sad and upsetting and even scary.

not only have I been told I need surgery very soon on my ovaries for the cyst that seems to be growing fast

but my wonderful furbaby Barnaby my basset hound my friend my support dog died from liver cancer I sat with him for days keeping him comfortable he hated going to the vets so like my other pets in the past he died at home with me and my husband with him I petting his side. still crying even now I am having a horrible time with this it was too soon for him and unfair he was 9 years old. also the night he died my husband was rushed to the hospital by ambulance for his hernia that went beyond strangulated he had emergency surgery. so crazy how so much can happen at once. 

As most know I have anxiety issues, so it was sooooo hard for me to get an uber and get to the hospital to see my husband but guess what I did it, I needed to vomit when I got to the hospital but I did it, and even found his room yay for me well-considering everything yes yay for me. 

I had a hard few days alone at home missing Barnaby and my husband I cleaned the house from top to bottom trying to stay busy and fix up an area for Jonathan to recoup in the living room. Staying busy does really help. 

Even though it is hard to see the wonderful some days I do feel blessed that my husband is alive for one and he is home now and taking care of him has been easy and full of love, he is up and around the last couple of days doing stuff on his own just no heavy lifting. and Barnaby was with me through so much including cancer chemo and covid isolation I feel blessed again so thankful I had him the years I did I just wish it was longer I will miss the laughter he brought his clever sneaking his counter surfing, his barking at the mailwomen, his laying with me as I pet his head, god I miss him but I know he is at the rainbow bridge and out of pain. thank you, god for the time I had.

 

Baranby and me -his last day holding back tears as I write now I will miss you so much dear friend.

Barnaby at easter
