When you and your husband are both very independent people, it’s hard to ask for help. If we do ask for help, we need it. Asking for help has probably been one of the hardest things for me to do throughout this cancer journey but I’ve learned to accept help that is offered and ask…
T-Rex Arms
I don’t like asking for help. I quickly learned I need a lot of help following this surgery. And I hate that I am so limited. I can’t reach a lot of things. I can’t pick up Bryce when he cries. I feel useless. But I need to keep reminding myself this is just temporary….
Surgery Update
Surgery went well. I’m doing ok. Very very sore but mentally so relieved to finally have this done. I was able to go home last night. Slept on and off throughout the night but glad to be in my own bed and not a hospital bed. Was also good to briefly see the kids before…

It’s Not a Ceremony, it’s a Show
Yesterday my son Shane had his kindergarten show. His school didn’t have a graduation or a moving up ceremony, just a show, which I am totally fine with. The three kindergarten classes sat together on stage singing songs and the whole show lasted about 20 minutes. Cute, short and just right. What I didn’t expect…
