Why Are You Smiling?
Not long after Chuck died…I cannot remember if it was in the 3 days before the funeral or in the days following…I had been out for my run and I passed the place where I had first photographed him in his wheelchair. I thought about the day we were out for a walk and the […]
Farewell My Beloved
The first days of March were the tail end of my husband’s illness which ultimately led, as most reading this well know, to his death on Thursday, March the 8th. In these final days, he became very limited in his mobility and his speech. In fact, I was not very sure at all just how […]
Picture Memorial
The purpose of this post is to display photos of my husband’s viewing, funeral and burial for anyone who may not have been able to view them on Facebook. Chuck Niewadomski passed away at 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, March the 8th. He was ill for all of 6 months and 6 days. He died at […]
Natasia’s Here To Support And Help Me
Just a real short update. It has been a week of ups and downs, but thankfully, Natasia has been here with me to help get me through some very rough spots. In the previous post, Chuck had just gotten his fluid off and I shared video where he was doing well and then a clip […]
Just As It Should Be
At yesterday’s paracentesis, the nurses were a little shocked at the rapid deterioration they witnessed in Chuck over the past 7 days. They immediately moved into action in getting me the help I needed to get approved for Hospice care in our home. They drained another 12 liters of fluid from Chuck and he felt […]
My Honey Inspires Me
My sweetie is such a trooper. He did very well today. He did not get mean or ugly or aggravated even one time. I love him so much. I know if it were me, I’d be complaining up a storm….I just know I would…..not him though. He keeps on giving thanks and talking to Jesus. […]
Facing The Facts
Yesterday, Wednesday the 18th, was another one of those days. Chuck was irritable and agitated to say the very least. He had been filling up steadily since the last paracentesis which was on the 9th. The past week and a half (since that date) found him resting as much as possible with very little activity […]
A Quick Word….
Monday the 9th, we went to the VA for yet another round of paracentesis. As we were leaving the house, Chuck had asked me if I had the camera. I told him no, I was not bringing it because he had forbidden me to broadcast his personal situation on the internet….*remember?* So I did not […]
It Was Written In The Clouds
Yesterday, Monday the 2nd…I awoke to Chuck busily working over the kitchen stove. You know how it is. You have just woken up, not kick started yet and someone else has been up for hours and they are in full speed and raring to go. Clash. I am usually the first one up…always have been, […]
Vlog Update December 22nd, 2011
I have so many mixed emotions lately. It has been a difficult week, but you all make it a little bit easier. Thanks for listening, for loving and praying, for encouraging me. I need everyone of you at this difficult time in my life. ♥
Not A Pretty Picture
I really want to update this blog. There is so much on my heart and mind. So many things happen on a daily basis that they have begun to stack up and accumulate beyond what even I could have imagined. One day its rejoicing and being thankful for every little gift, then the next day […]
Update/Round Three Paracentisis
The above photo shows the end result of our visit to the VA. This is what accumulated in just three short weeks and this is what makes a man angry, irritable and confused. This acidic fluid is what leaches out of a faulty liver that cannot keep up with the body’s demands to eliminate toxins […]
The Present Weapon
Many of you know of the struggles I have been enduring in dealing with my husband being ill. There are good days and there are bad days, to say the least. Many of you also know that I have turned to running, not only for my own health benefits, but more lately here to relieve […]
