Good morning. As I wake up on this Wednesday morning before Thanksgiving, I'm thinking of how much has changed in a year. Last Thanksgiving, I was being released from the hospital following a complete hysterectomy and waiting for the results of the pathology report. What is ironic is that the Dr. was preparing us for bad news because there were so many fibroids, cysts, nodules, etc that in his words, it would be a miracle if everything came back benign. They didn't even bother to do a biopsy prior because they were so sure I had cancer and just wanted to quickly get everything out and hope it hadn't spread. Well, I got my miracle. Even after asking pathology to double check their results, no cancer. Jimmy had been so very scared and was so relieved. He'd just kept saying he couldn't live without me. 💔
Then the week of Christmas we discovered that Jimmy had a lesion on his liver and all the sudden our world was turned upside down. It's been a hard year but i am thankful that at least he's here to spend Thanksgiving with. When we found out about the liver cancer, I was afraid we'd only have a couple months. I am realistic enough to realize that each day I have Jimmy is a Blessing and gift and I cherish each one of them. It breaks my heart because I know not all of us on here will be spending Thanksgiving with their loved ones. They are in my prayers and thoughts as I prepare for our Thanksgiving. All of the ones fighting this battle and their loved ones are also in my prayers.
Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Holidays are hard. My Wife of 30 years died in June 2018. She had a Heart valve replaced and was at home recovering. The 10th day she started to have pain. Took her in to the Heart center. The Aorta where it connects to the heart was leaking. We hugged and kissed each other and in the OR she went. That was the last time I ever heard her voice live. Opened her up to repair the damage. She came out successfuly, but with a Breathing tube in place. She was very swollen but could communicate with a white board. Father's day my Daughter and Son-in-law and me were with her. The Doctor told us she would be fine and come home in about three days saying the breathing tube would be removed the next day. I was called at 8AM the following morning by the Doctor telling me I needed to get there fast because she did not have much time left. I called my Daughter and we went to the hospital. A blood clot had released and blocked her good never operated on heart valve. It killed her. Devistating. I have remarried. My Wife Shelley was her friend living in Mississippi. She had been married for 30 years too. We married in Nov 2018. She came to visit and never left! LOL Shelley was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the right jaw bone Jan 2019. It was removed. She has fought hard, is cancer free, so far. Today she is in the Hospital with Aspiration Pneumonia and a bad ache in her abdomen. They did a endoscopy and took tissue samples of the stomach. Y'all know they do not take samples unless they suspect something. This Monster "cancer" just don't quit. But this is in the Hands of Jesus, too much for us to handle, Amen?
Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear Shelly is having to deal with it. Yes, I hate waiting for pathology results. Hate cancer. Y'all are both in my prayers. ❤️🙏❤️. Sharon
