I don't think I've mentioned this before. Please pray for my friend Andres who is 40 and has had 2 surgeries for bladder cancer. He has a little boy who is about 9. He's trying to maintain a positive attitude but is obviously scared. I told him we'd be praying for him, and I appreciate the backup. Thanks friends.
Praying. It is so hard when a young person (40 is young to me! ) has a potentially fatal disease - especially when there are small(ish) children to consider.

Thank you my friends. They put in a stoma, and took a biopsy. And this all happened in the last three weeks or so.

For sure, will send prayers for Andres. Very good, but hard to maintain a positive attitude. Brave man and also said prayer for his son and the rest of his family. Be safe.
I did it!!!!!! two courses are done and now enjoying a 4-week vacation. 3 more to and then graduation. I got an A in my interdisciplinary class and a C in my Special Education class. That class completely brutal. Still trying to see if I want to get into Christian Counseling or not. Another 2 years but I would really like that to go with my Special Education. I thank ya'l for the prayers and pushes to keep me going. Sending blessings and prayers to a wonderful group of people.
Enjoy the Christmas season, mamag, and relax in the love of family and friends.

A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!! I always felt like getting time off after tough studying felt like taking my girdle off! Lol! (At least back in the olden days when we actually wore girdles! ) Enjoy your time off, and get some quality time in with the hubby...Happy girdle-free time!!

Oh Mamag, I knew you could do it!!!! I am so very proud of you. Now you can relax for a while, at least as far as school is concerned. How is your hubby doing? You both stay safe and congrats again.

Darambo, Hubby is not too good. We are having a hard time keeping his oxygen level. It keeps dropping with even the slightest exertion and his pulse rate goes way up., even walking to the bathroom. He can no longer take showers. I have to wash his hair and sponge bathe while he sits on the edge of the bed. It is getting hard to see him like this. He just sits in his recliner and does nothing. He has lost interest in doing his plastic canvas crafts. Please keep him in prayers. He really needs them. I am going to enjoy my days off as much as I can. Have a Merry Christmas and a most blessed New Year.

I sympathize, mamag. Your hubby's lack of interest in crafts and simply sitting in a recliner all day sounds so much like my Dearly Beloved. It's disheartening. My prayers for him and for you. Hugs.

Mamag sorry to hear your hubby is having a hard time. I watched my Dad go through this and it is difficult to see someone you love like this. Please know you will both be in my prayers. My Dad used to do leather work and latch hook rugs. Have purses and rugs he made, beautiful work, more so now he is gone. Prayers for you and your hubby Akan also. Hang in there guys and be safe.

Thank you darambo and Aknan. I love to latch hook. I made hubby a beautiful rug with two wolves and a moon against a midnight blue background. He loves it so much. I am so sorry for the loss of your precious father darambo. We are trying to do the best we can.
Aknan, thank you again as well. And you both so sweet.

Mamag and Darambo, both of your husbands are in my thoughts and prayers. Please pray for my husband also, as he is MY caregiver. My condition is going downhill also...It's getting harder all the time to do these jigsaws. But I'll keep trying as long as I possibly can! This sure isn't the way the Golden Years were explained to me! Lol! Merry Christmas to all!

Akan, no, no one has ever told me that. I used to get told I was too intense, guess I mellowed with old age lol!! Mamag would love to see that rug, sounds absolutely beautiful. I have a large rug my Dad made it's on a black background and has brightly colored tropical fish...it's just beautiful. Be safe and both of you keep us informed about your hubbies.
Awwwww next to the koala this is my favourite animal.
The laugh was on me - this morning when I got up and put my glasses on I couldn't focus and in view of the past week's activities I immediately thought the worst and thought because of the diabetes that I was beginning to lose my sight. So I did everything I could to try to focus finally thinking, maybe the lenses need cleaning and when I went to do this discovered one of the lenses had fallen out!!!! Good for a laugh. hahahah
Tomorrow I go for my brain scan and then on to the doctor next day, so we will see what happens.
Tell us a little about a Wombat. I think it is really cute. Are they friendly or not? Think I saw something on time on the TV but I don't remember what they said it, maybe they showed on the Zoo in New York City. Thanks!

I've actually reached up to push up my glasses and found out I wasn't wearing any! (Many times! )
Praying for a good brain scan. Is that the same thing as an MRI? I've had many of those...I've always prayed they'd at least find a brain!
God Bless, Aussie...Be well. Hugs.

Hi Catlady, I thought they were kind of docile but was at an animal sanctuary one time and some Japanese people were reaching over a short fence to a wombat and he got really mad and nearly jumped over the fence!!! I believe they like biting people's heels as well. But they are so cute and ugly cannot help but love them. Hugs.
I wouldn't want to pet him either.
Wow, that snowflake would have been interesting to see.

Like the song I wouldn't want that snow flake on my nose or eyelashes. Cute but wild wombats according to google a small bear like animal that poops square pellets. I'm sure there are many more facts that I could write about but not now.

The largest snowflake was reportedly observed in 1887. It was supposedly 15 inches wide and 8 inches thick.
