It's been snowing off and on here for weeks. The sweeping, the shovelling, driving, the trying to keep the hummingbird feeder fresh and unthawed. The freezing our asses off. Really a boring subject and a given if you live wherever ....it is bound to occur. That is all anyone talks about around here. Not Pet Talk peeps, but everyone I know. I'm going to hibernate. F*ck the weather 👻💀☠️

Here's a random thought. My favorite cousin has prostate cancer, his name is Trent. They are going to remove his prostate, the entire shebang, this bloody Tues. He is only 50, a very handsome, loving , kind person. I have a huge, loving family. Trent is everyone's favorite. He is a Pitt bull lover and has one now named Harley. He has had many Pitt bulls, and now Harley, she's SO lovely. He has a beautiful, loving wife. She has a deadly black cat, Luna. They spoon. We are all pretty much scared shitless. We all bought SO much food to put in their freezer. M&M stuff, homemade blah blah blah. Our family feeds peeps, it's what we do. So, weird eh? Anyway, they have a big freezer. I know they don't need this, wasn't our idea, but can't hurt. The question is, how do YOU deal with fear? Hey, nothing anyone could say could possibly freak me out anymore than I already am.

First, I want to say how very sorry I am for the diagnosis. I'm glad that you have a large family to deal with this. The more support, the better. And a fully stocked freezer is a great help.
There is no way that a cancer diagnosis doesn't cause fear. To me, fear makes me more cautious, even though in the early stages, one might act irrationally. Eventually I become calm enough to think everything through and to deal with it. Recently, I had to make some huge, life-altering decisions. It was scary at first, but I'm well on my way now.

Dear mon, I'm so sorry to learn about Trent and his diagnosis. We are sending lots of warm, loving thoughts and prayers and healing energies that the surgery goes well with promising results and Trent recovers comfortably. That is great that he has this huge, loving family, including Harley and Luna, AND you, mon, to be with him through it all. And how handy to have a nice, full freezer!

How do I deal with fear? I don't think I have a tried and true method. I'm afraid. I try and give myself time and space to figure how best to deal with whatever I'm facing.

Thank you phesina and cats4ever. What you shared means so much. Thanks again. I'm a wreck inside emotionally but... only when I think about it. I hope when they get in there, they find it hasn't spread. The thought is unbearable. So unbearable.

Me again, my Aunty just e mailed me about Trent. He goes in at 6 a.m tommorrow and the surgery will happen, it is suppose to take 4 and 1/2 hrs. He is scheduled to stay at least 4 days. Oh my God. Sounds a lot worse by the minute really, doesn't it. Sh*t! Glad my husbands asleep, I can't stop crying. I think I need a tranquilizer 😜🙃 Anyway, it's 10:30 here and since I have no sedatives, i whippped out the breadmaker and am attempting to bake a loaf. Simple, really. Just follow the recipe and voila. I am an excellent baker but Shawn always does this. All two times I have tried this 🙄😱 Epic fail. Not sure why, I think he throws an egg in it, his secret trick 😎 SO... this time that's just what I did. Hope it works, if not it will still smell good and kept me busy for a bit. The house is so clean, like sooooo clean. Guess I'll read, thanks for hearing me out. Gotta go cry some more. Thanks again ❤️
