Posted by Mike Henry on August 28, 2023 at 23:16:03 from (107.181.208.94):

Saw another's post concerning life changing event. It gave me courage to tell my yr long issues. My wife of 20yrs was diagnosed with her 4th cancer in 7/22. The cancer was found between back bone and stomach. Tumor are into stomach wall leaking poison in. A 20 Guage feeding tube was installed to use as a drain into a bag. Chemo started mid Aug. 1st treatment caused both lungs getting blood clots. I am a 3d shifter at local universary. Not much Vaca time doing to appointments and such. For 4 nights I work go 20 miles to sit with wife. Go home midday to sleep then start over. 8/27/22 I was on way home had a 1 car accident. Cause was sleep or low blood sugar. Minor repair to right eye socket. Neck damage that was started with age and misspent youth. C4,5,6, removed and fused in 3/23. Now hardest repair coming. Right reverse shoulder replacement. Of 4 major muscles in shoulder I only have deltoid in place. This has left that arm with extreme limited range of motion and strength. Unless I can spider walk right figures above shoulder height I can't reach. Left shoulder had a muscle tear in 2020 that hadn't fully healed but wasn't terrible.till now. During all my issues Shelly was cleared of clots and went back to chemo.2 days a week.at that time she showed no sign of being sick. Then April came. Stronger chemo needed. 3 treatments their goes hair. Week break she wants to see smokies. Easter weekend takes us to gatlingburg. Sunday she can't even get out of bed. Turning yellow. Monday come home talking to Dr. While driving. Says take her to our hospital. Tests show liver
Bile duct is partially blocked, 2 more drain tube installed pencil sized. That was start of the end. Weaknes sickness. I was able to keep her home.last week friends helped with bathing as I was afraid I would drop her. I lost her 232pm 5/17/2023. Her 4 siblings became vultures trying to take things before she past. I had to call for help to keep them in room with me or on front deck. At service they took plants and garden art that was to go to my house. It was on card with. Since I been alone.i have a brother but his family and work keep him on his toes. Cousins are to far away. Friends that were helping have stepped back are there if needed. As a 57 yr old I'm really scared for my future. I am so limited in what I can do. Will it get better? Dr says I should go to a nursing facility with physical therepy for 12 weeks. I am asking for prayers because i appreciate you all for the uplifting comments. This is an awesome group. Bless and pray for the folks that need the help and the folks that are providing help and care. This is the 1st I been able to tell this. Sorry so long.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
