Surprisingly, we were told I had stage 4 lung cancer which spread to my bones.  This was so unexpected and that is why we called this stage “ Holy Crap ’.  Steve went to see our family doctor, Dr Aliu, to pick up nausea pills for me and Metamucil for constipation.  Steve explained that the doctor was so upset and couldn’t believe the results since I always ate (at least most of the time) healthy, exercised, never smoked and tried to follow a stress free life.

December 31, 2022 Nicky safely arrived at Natalie ‘a last night from Florida. Both will be leaving early this morning and driving here today.  What a great New Years Eve for Steve and I. Glad they will be arriving around noon since I know I won’t be up to greet the New Year when midnight hits but will wake up happy on New Years Day.  The girls arrived at 1:00 pm and Already went shopping and started preparing meals so that we will have pre made meals in the future.  9:30- I went to bed while the girls laid beside me. We were going to watch TV however ended up talking for an hour. It was so nice.  10:30pm-  For some reason, I had a cough spell with wheezing. Never had that before and not sure why.  The girls stayed with me until I fell asleep.  Didn’t make it to midnight but we cheered before I went to bed.  Happy New Year.
