My personal journey of losing a loved one to cancer....AGAIN!!!!

OMG i honestly don't know where to start. I guess I should first tell you WHO is sick this time. Which one you wanna know about first? My sweet Daddy or my BFF/ex-sis in law/sister by heart? I'll tell you about my dad first. My daddy is 62 years old. He is 6'3" tall, gray hair and the strongest person I know, I mean seriously aren't ALL daddies the strongest person in the world? especially to their little girls? yes at 41 i'm STILL daddy's girl. Always will be I suppose. My dad found out a year ago that he had bladder cancer. He was one of the "lucky" ones that had taken the drug Actose for his diabetes. His doctor, a man i don't care for ONE bit told him he needed to have surgery to remove the cancer so he did. The dr. *Dr. McDumbass, yes, that's the name i gave him. I don't remember his actual given name, but i can remember the name give by me.*, assured my dad he was fine after the surgery. That he KNEW he'd gotten ALL the cancer and he was good to go. SO.....three months later at my Dad's next visit with him, he was...surprise surprise needing a second surgery  *ready for the drumroll....to remove the cancer that had grown back in his bladder...AGAIN. After the second surgery the Dr. THOUGHT he had ALL the cancer this time. Now I'm no professional anything and i don't pretend to be either. BUT i have enough common sense to know that if the cancer is continuing to return every few months that maybe, just maybe the Dr. should consider a PREVENTATIVE step...like i don't know Chemo, radiation or hell even meditation and prayers.... Guess what Dr. McDA suggested NOTHING! I have very very different opinions than my parents do on this matter. Yes my parents are STILL together after 43 yrs of marriage. *AWESOME i know right*. I voiced my opinions to my parents about the lack of concern that my dad's dr seemed to show regarding the cancer coming back. I know lots of ppl have had lots more experience in this field than i have and for that I am very sorry for them. BUT I have, since my adult hood and VERY recently had more than my fair share of losses to cancer. The last one was my Father in law. He was diagnosed w/stomach cancer the middle of septemeber 2010 and 6 wks later on Nov. 1, 2010 he passed away. BUT like i said my parents have different opinions of the course of action my dad should be taking via Dr. McDumbass! Now, it's November 21, 2013 and my dad is again facing another surgery due to the fact his cancer has returned. gee, if only someone could've suggested something....i don't know....PREVENTATIVE to have stopped the cancer from returning.....oh wait I DID!!!! Daddy was scheduled to have surgery this past monday *the 11th?* but that surgery had to be postponed due to the fact he was told he needed a stress test to ck his heart before the surgery would be performed. So, he has the stress test done and low and behold, he's had a silent heart attack. OMG what now....but i do gotta admit the way i found out about the cancer returning the third time was very very hurtful to me....my BFF/ex-SIL/Sister at heart read it on facebook and came to me and told me how sorry she was about my dad....WTH???? seriously had no idea til then. THEN with the heart attack at least my mom did call and ask if i'd read on FB that my dad had a heart attack? NO! What are you talking about was my next sentence to her....yeah, he had a silent one. So at this point i did become a bratty kid again and ask why in the hell could they not call me and tell me these things before posting them to facebook and scaring the hell outta me? and of course it's my fault, always has been always will be~but that's another bitchy blog that will just have to wait til another day. the answer i got was that it was because i never answer my phone. that's always the excuse i get because my cell phone has 0 service at home and my home phone is screwy and doesn't work 1/2 the time. but that's OK cause they live so far away it would be impossible for them to stop by my house and tell me in person right???? NO...actually they live almost in my back yard....the two roads we live on intersect and makes like a sideways Y, so the back of their house faces the back of my house there is only a few little trees and a patch of woods separating us. I can literally see their house from my back yard/windows. so yeah they really could've stopped by and told me. I know I could've went to them too. BUT in my view every time there's been something big to happen to me I've made that LONG journey *sarcasim yes* to them so they wouldn't find out by FB or friends or anyone except me personally.....guess the rules are different when you're the parent and have news to share! Kids should just know i guess! so now with my dad we are waiting for him to have a nuclear stress test, then from there?????? so i wait! I'll be checking FB daily to find out the next move or maybe one of my friends will let me know if something happens!!!!!

My craft bucket caddy helper thingy.

Desperate times desperate measures!!

I used an old ice cream bucket. Made a cover for it, then added pockets n a zipper. Now I have something I can put my project in along with the tools needed for it,  and take it with me all over the place.

Lazy Sunday!

Well, today HAS been a lazy Sunday for me so far! I got up this morning got Laci off to church w/mawmaw and went right back to sleep. Danny did wake me up as he was leaving to go play golf. Now, it's just me, the kids, the cats and the puppy!! yep- house is still pretty full!!! LOL...oh well. the main reason for writing this post today was to share my latest "thing" I made. It's a bag I made from a pair of old capri shorts and a small piece of material i had. I also decided i needed a wallet to go along w/the purse. I HATE it when the wallet i have don't match the bag i'm carrying. Not that everything has to be matchy matchy,not at all. But like having a gold silky purse and a blue jean w/pink ruffle wallet. ewww.....not too pretty. So, long story short i made a wallet to go along w/the purse! i think they turned out pretty well....for a homemade set anyway!
