SLYONE 22- Журнал, 30 апр 24

FYI: This is not a food post, nor is it an excuse.
I have been quietly absorbing what is going on with all of my FS community for the past few months. I have been drawing strength from all of you. For that I will be eternally greatful. I have frequently said that you never know how many times you are lifting others up.
I am just trying to wrap my head around the crazy upheaval that has been my life for the last several months. I have always been a Christian and also believed the saying "what does not kill you makes you stronger". God has way more confidence in my strength than may be warranted.
In December my youngest Granddaughter (14) had to have emergency surgery to remove an ovary and the baseball size mass that had developed on it. She recovered amazingly but very scary.
January brought a funeral dinner at our church for 60 people. I cook the main dish, potatoes and the bread/rolls, and coordinate the salads and desserts.
The oldest Granddaughter had an ugly breakup and had to move for her safety. She's 6.5 hours away and the temperature was 15-25° below zero.
Got home from that adventure to find that we needed a major furnace repair. No problem it's under warranty. Only the installers who are retired, neglected to send in the warranty registration. $$$!
Hubby's ex-wife, Dena has been quite ill for over a year. She entered hospice care. She and I have been good friends for 50 years and were even in business together for several of them.
To finish off the month, a baseball size mass was found on a lymph node near the liver, during a scan of Hubby's lungs. He smoked for 57 years. Stopped 6 years ago. The VA wanted the scan during a routine physical. Lungs look as though he never smoked. This was the beginning of the 3 months of biopsies, scopes and quarts of blood testing.
Dena passed away the 4th of February. It was really tough for all of us, especially the kids.
On a good note we found out we are going to be Great Grandparents. The baby is due on Hubby's birthday in October.
Then March brought funerals for 2 friends on the same day. Then after a needle biopsy of the mass, a cancer diagnosis for Hubby. He begins Chemo/Immunotherapy on the 2nd of May.
Son turns 55 on the 5th and Son-in-law turns 50 on the 6th.
I know this has been long and confusing. Believe me I've lived it and it took posting this, to grasp how crazy life has been. I am so thankful for the support that I draw from this community. You have no idea how many times you have helped me get through the trying times.
I'm trying to eat healthy and not lose sight of my need to maintain my health, in order to sustain others. Thoughts and Prayers are welcome. I know that this is the support that I need. Thanks to all of you that have been there for so long.
