Good morning everyone,
Yes it is I. you all have been on my mind, I know its been a long 10 months.
To make a long , long.... story short, I have been nursing my DH, he has Metastatic prostate cancer. It is on the prostate, in the pelvic lymphatic system, 6 lesions in 6 different places on pelvic bone, right hip socket and right femur neck. He had a catheter from may1 to aug 7th, had a TURP surgery on the 6th of Aug, and recovered very well from that. no more catheter. He is not doing any traditional chemo or radiation. He is doing everything naturopathic, very extreme anti cancer diet. In short, We are doing the best we can so his remaining days are livable good quality of life. All of our large family has been through the processing stage and things are back to a much different new normal.
I am fine, I had to put a hen down on Friday due to extreme brumble foot infection, now I have one that seems to have a plugged gizzard, so, life moves on.
I split ( with the log splitter ) and stacked 4 cords of fire wood, cleared deep brush along northside of the driveway

and took down 8 trees , bucked the limbs and cut into rounds and
hauled them up by the garage ( it was heavy!) to dry over the next year.
I have 3 left to do here.
On the southside I cleared more trees and brush. Have 3 LG brush piles over there and one tree I need to finish bucking and round up. Gary comes out and helps with what he can, its good to be active but not over do it. He took the very big tree down for me, it was a bit intimidating. there are 3 standing dead he wants to cut so we will get those in a week or so.
I went out yesterday and finished dragging limbs over to the brush pile we will burn next spring.
I pray you all are well, and your families are also. I am going to go get the dogs fed and dress for church.
I am starting a women's Bible study next Tuesday. I'll be teaching from 1 & 2 Peter.
I apologize, I havent kept up on the thread news.
love,
Becky
I am able to empathize and sympathize with you.
I don't have the exact same problems, but the similar problems are 3 strokes (the third stroke left him with left-sided paralysis), diagnosed with prostate cancer, fell fractured his right hip during his third stroke, he walks with a rolling walker, and ... more!
I take care of him, do all the house work, do all the shopping, take care of the chickens, and anything else that needs to be done.
It is a thankless job, lonely time, and you're worn out.
It is good to have you back in the flock.
