Genius
Hubby still has not been cleared to drive. As a result we get a lot of family time in the car. Yesterday C told us Mr B (his teacher) said he was a genius.
I sd was he smiling when he said it he said no. G turned to look at Colin when he announced he was a genius then looked at me. We just smiled at each other. Not wanted C to know we wanted to laugh. G told me that C had this matter of fact look on his face like what Mr B said was gospel.
Later last night C figured out something that I thought was impressive. I sd Wow Colin that's really pretty smart. He looked at me & said I'm a genius.
I didn't correct him, I'll gently let the air out of his balloon another day.
I don't see any real harm of him thinking he's a genious for a day or 2.

Squeamish
OK I admit it, I'm squeamish! Hubby's bandage needed to be changed after the port surgery.
I took one look at that wound & thought oh no. It was a clear bandage & sterile strips so I could see everything. I called the Dr. Wednesday he said it didn't need to be changed until Thursday afternoon. I breathed a sign of relief.
Thursday after a fabulous meal by mom & my sisters, I just contributed financially;
I tried to sweet talk mom into changing DH bandage. My sis & BIL kept interrupting, giving advice about sterile strips & where I could buy them on Thanksgiving day. I politely ignored them & asked mom to look at the wound. I told her there was no way I could remove the bandage & the sterile strips not come off too. I asked her would she change it.
She worked in a hospital for over 10 yrs. She assisted with hearth caths. She's not squeamish at all. She came over Friday & changed the dressing. She kept trying to show me the old dressing & what to look for to make sure it was not infected. I kept trying to look away. I couldn't believe she couldn't see to look at that was making me ill.
Hubby teased me about the marriage vows & not caring for his wound.
I said I'm making sure your wound is taking care of; me passed out on the floor would not do you, me or your wound any good. Thank goodness for my mother. She runs to my resuce often. I wonder who's going to run to Colin's resue if it squeamishness involved??
Thank goodness I have other strengths & talents.

think
I came across this quote today & I love it.
'It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts... it is to teach them to think, if that is possible, and always to think for themselves.' --- Robert Hutchins
I know at times I like to brag on my son. It's not as often as I like because he is not always the model student.
I can't stand when parents say things like little Johnny was reading when he was 3 yrs old or He could count to 100 when he was 2 yrs old.
The important thing is for little Johnny to be a positive contributor to this world, when he's all grown up.
A co-worker & I were discussing schools & what children learn. He may move soon because he doesn't want his daughter to go to the assigned public school. This is such a shame all schools should be good.

Happy day before Thanksgiving
I cancelled hosting Thanksgiving. We were supposed to host.
When we got the blow that the cancer was in the lymph nodes,
I sent my family an email that I would not host Thanksgiving.
Mom is hosting & most of us are taking a dish. It will be a small
crowd this year.
I'm very thankful that the cancer was not worst.
I wished I would have got the Christmas decorations out of the attic yesterday.
It was 80º, today the high will be 47º. Brrrr
Hubby is watching our son. They seemed to be ok when I called to check.
I'm working a few more hours & I'm heading home.
Side note of just gibberish
What is up with the new fashion of false eyelashes as everyday wear?!
Does a woman not have enough to do??? Guess who will not
be wearing false eyelashes just because they are in fashion???!!!

stage 3
I got this information from http://www.cancure.org/colon_cancer.htm
it explains the different stages. G is stage 3
Stage 0 or carcinoma in situ is very early cancer - found only in the innermost lining of the colon.Stage I - The cancer has spread beyond the innermost lining of the colon to the second and third layers and involves the inside wall of the colon, but has not spread to the outer wall of the colon or outside the colon. Sometimes called Dukes A colon cancer.Stage II: Cancer has spread outside the colon to nearby tissue, but it has not gone into the lymph nodes. Sometimes called Dukes B colon cancer.Stage III: Cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes, but it has not spread to other parts of the body. Sometimes called Dukes C colon cancer.Stage IV: Cancer has spread to other parts of the body, such as the liver, bones, or lungs. Sometimes called Dukes D colon cancer.

Port surgery
Yesterday we spent most of the day at the hospital. G had a port installed for chemo.
He's doing OK. He needed an extra pillow. I have to work today & tomorrow.
He will call my parents if he needs anything.
The whether here has been gorgeous. I need to get the Christmas decorations down tonight.
It's going to be 77º today then it will turn cold.
I love to decorate for Christmas but decided to do just one 6' tree this year instead of 2.
