Sorry...under the weather..

I'm sorry that I have not posted sooner. I had surgery on the 15th and I seen the doctor for the post-op visit. He told me that it looked like an A-bomb had exploded inside of my body. I had scar tissue on my stomach, colon (he didn't remove this), intestines and around my belly button. He said that he hopes that this is not a recurring problem for me. I pulled a muscle under my right rib cage and that has been a problem for me for the past two weeks. I have never pulled a muscle and I hope that I never pull another one. I have been in so much pain. I will be out of work for another week, trying to heal from this.
Daddy will be having treatments for his cancer hopefully before Thanksgiving. His urologist is out of the office due to having surgery on his back and he will not be back in for another 3 to 4 weeks. The oncologist that we have chosen to treat Daddy seems to be a great doctor. He answered question after question when we were in the office last week. The plan at this time is ..seed therpy, external radiation 5 times a week for 5 weeks, and hormone therpy. Daddy has lost 6 pounds in 3 weeks and the doctor is hoping that Daddy will put on some weight while we are waiting on the urologist to return to work.
Momma seems to be having some really bad days lately. She is just not in a good mood and she seems to be angry all the time, with everyone. Especially me and Daddy. The only thing that I know to do is just not feed into negative. Is this just a part of this awful disease? There are times that I want to scream, just get in my car and scream but then I realize that I will not accomplish anything but giving myself a headache so ....
I hope that everyone is doing well..and that the weather your way is nice. One day it is hot here and then by the weekend it is cold. Take care and peace, love and happiness.

Daddy has an appointment in Savannah on oct. 19 to see the urologist/oncolgist and to figure out what the game plan is going to be. We don't know what stage it is in or if it has spread. My hubby, niece or nephew will be taking him because I will be having surgery on the 15th. I will be going to the doctor's office and the hospital tomorrow to pre-register. I have been sick for a few days so I have not been to Momma and Daddy's house. Everything is going to be okay. I am more worried about what is going on with Daddy.
For some good news, Momma seems like she is doing well. David said that she in spirits and she is calling wanting some peanuts to boil. My neice went yesterday and get her some out the field and took them to her and she picked them off of the bush. I told Jami that I hoped she took pictures of her while she was doing this task. Jami is going to roast some and boil some for her grandparents.
I hope that everyone is going well. Take care and peace, love and happiness.

I'm okay 2

I know that it has been awhile since I have posted and I apologize.
Momma is not doing well with the ALZ and Parkinson. She has been having some really really bad days. And I am shocked that she remembers me these days. She is regressing to more child like days and not able to control her emotions. She is crying one minute and angry the next. Is this the way that ALZ happens with emotions? Will she continue to go downhill? Sad thing is, I know the answers to these questions and I don't want to face the reality of this disease.
Daddy had the biopsy last Wednesday and we are to go back to Savannah and talk with the doctor tomorrow. Hopefully, we will know that is going on. Daddy said that he is so tired of going back and forth the to doctor is Savannah but that group that he is seeing is the best for this type of problem that he is having.
Last week I got sick and I have been out of work since the 28th of September. I am scheduled to have surgery on October 15th. I am waiting on some bloodwork results. I miss work...and will I be so happy when I can get back to work.
We had Noah for 2 weeks and he is growing up so fast and so handsome. He is learning so much, so fast. We had so much fun with him while was here. He is potty training and I forget how hard is to potty train. I don't remember it being so hard to potty train Brent and Bryan when they were young. He is doing really good just starting out. Bethany and Stephen are doing well. Stephen is having a few issue with his breathing and he will be travleing back to the Atlanta next up week to the see the doctor. Skylar and Dalton are doing well also. These babies are up growing up too fast. Me and David were talking last week when we had Noah and realized that Noah will be in Pre-K next year. Hard to believe but that is the process of life.
Take care and as always..peace, love and happiness......
