UpDates Home Alone Again Staying Busy


Well Tuesday June 10th was the big day for my Wife’s surgery to repair an aneurysm on her main artery on her heart, we had to be at the General Hospital at 6:30 am so we were up at 4 am (Coffee,shower,etc).

The surgery went well, they went in through her groin and snaked a wire with the coil all the way through her ,through her heart to the aneurysm, where they embedded the coil which re-enforces the artery wall, the aneurysm should not grow or burst and should eventually dissipate since there is no more blood or pressure on it, at least that is the hope.

I was able to take her home that same day at 4:00pm , she was exhausted and sore but fine and pretty much slept as soon as we arrived home, I was wiped out from the early morning and being stressed and worried sick about her all day so I too went to bed around 7 that night.

Wednesday June 11th , I had to take her into the Pasqua Hospital (where the Allen Blair Cancer Center is located),for some blood work and to register her to admitting so she could get a bed for her next round of Chemo, Thankfully they gave her a 24 hour pass so she could come back home for the day/night.

This morning I took her back to the Cancer Center at 9:30am for her Chemo, she hasn’t had much recovery time from her surgery, just wham 2 hospitals in 3 days! She started her Chemo right away, and might be able to come home tomorrow, but most likely Saturday for sure.

Our son “Hammy” is off on a school camping trip until Friday (he left wednesday), so here I am Home Alone again ,and as I have said before, our house just isn’t a home without my wife being present, it feels even colder tonight because our son is also not here, just me,the dog,and the cats.

I do get lonely, but don’t really mind being alone, it gives me time to think and decompress, to take a much needed break from being my wife and son’s emotional/spiritual rock, I am tough and ever steady on the outside,but not always so on the inside (if that makes sense).

So to keep from going nucking-futs (a Saskatchewan word),I keep myself busy, tomorrows agenda includes removing the old worn out recliner from the living room and replacing it with a super comfy chair and ottoman, taking our son’s bed apart and donating it down the line to the next kidlet that needs it,(“Hammy” out grew it) and replacing it with a new one that fits a growing soon to be teen boy.

My sister gave me the chair,ottoman, & bed since she is moving away from the village,she is moving to the city, I also have to finish up a bit of welding on a fire pit that I have been commissioned to build, I’ll post a few photo’s of it when I am done, the extra bit of money will help, lately a lot of people have been asking me to do odd jobs for them, I am not a professional welder, never worked in a welding shop, just learned the basics in high school shop class in the early 80?s and have been self taught ever since, but word got out that I can weld, now people are bringing me things to fix or asking me to build.

I only have half a workshop to work in until I get the roof repaired, which I will get at shortly (I hope)

anyway, it’s late, I’m tired so I’ll stop here, thanks for stopping by, remember to express your love often,and don’t take tomorrow for granted, and be kind to one another.
