I am seven years a widow and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm five years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to nine gorgeous kids, featuring them often here. I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, anything British, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. So happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading!

I don’t know if there is a remedy, but visiting my in laws, my father in law would make me a bourbon hot toddy. We were usually playing bridge at the time and even though I disliked bourbon, after the first one, the second went down well.😄

The following are what we’ve always used to comfort, not cure.

Hot tea with honey to coat a sore throat

Vitamin C

Humidifier

Plenty of kleenex

Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge 1-26-21

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

At night in the dark when I ought

To be sleeping away, comes the blizzard of thoughts

I’m not the only one suffering this malady

I only wish it would take a holiday

So tired my eyes are burning

Can’t read, or watch, only yearning

For sweet sleep, rest undisturbed

Without seeing jumbled words.
