My Asthmatic Journey - UBC Day 6

 Day 6 in the Ultimate Blog Challenge


My journey with Environmental Asthma started in 2013 after my Thyroid Cancer, Stage 3 almost 4 disease.

Anytime the weather would shift, my respiratory system became very compromised when breathing. I was in and out of the hospitals because of severe Asthma Exacerbations. Each visit lasted anywhere from 3 to 10 days depending on my breathing, wheezing and coughing.

During this time, I also was diagnosed with COPD. (I have never smoked a day in my life). How on earth I have COPD is beyond me. Usually, when I am having an exacerbation, the COPD flares up as well making it exceedingly difficult to breathe and get air to move in my airways.

I have been on so many steroid treatments it is not even funny. My mom’s sister, Bernice had severe asthma. Hers was different than mine as hers was triggered by allergies. This included anything AND everything. They ended up moving to Arkansas.

When I told the Allergist, who ran all my tests, he said, “yes – that may very well be in your future if you cannot get it under control here in the Metroplex”. Meaning the Dallas/Ft Worth part of Texas.

In February of 2016, I had a severe asthma exacerbation. I thought I was going to die. I was in the hospital for twelve days. I had to quit working per doctors’ orders. That was the hardest thing for me to do. I loved my job and to think I was never going to be able to work outside of the house again was a difficult pill to swallow. (literally).

Things that trigger my exacerbations are weather changes, fireplaces burning, campfires, cleaning jalapenos (strange I know but they will seize me up faster than fast), ozone layer changes, smog, the smell of gasoline, and cigarette smoke.

I no longer can have live flowers in my house as they put off a chemical (like the jalapenos) that will seize me up as well.

Environmental Asthma is horrific to say the least…first, my symptoms start with a change in my voice. Then I start coughing, then the wheezing starts. I become very disoriented trying to maintain breathing. At times I feel like I am going to pass out from shortness of breath. I must use my nebulizer throughout the day and night when I am in the middle of an attack. Then the steroid regimen starts. They are EVIL!!! Sometimes, my face will swell up from the steroids and I put on weight.

After my last hospitalization, I wanted to create a Junk Journal to depict my journey with Environmental Asthma. Using ephemera received in the hospital, other things I have had out of magazines, newspapers, etc., Here is a sneak peek of a few of the pages and the Junk Journal itself that I came up with...

Our Journey, Day 1 - 2020 Vacation - #9UBC

 Day 9 in the Ultimate Blog Challenge

DAY 1



On Friday, we began our journey to Illinois. I wrote a post a few days ago titled, "should I stay, or should I go" as a segue into the next few days...did you read it? If you did, thank you! I appreciate your comments and thoughts...

The journey if we travel it straight through is a little under fourteen hours. This time, on the way there - we are breaking it out into 4 - 4.5 hours stretches as we are meeting cousins of mine that I haven't seen in many, many years and also having the opportunity of meeting several other 'new' cousins I have met through my genealogy journey and also from blogging. 

We left the Dallas/Ft Worth area about 4:15 p.m. after my husband got off and began making our trek towards Oklahoma. Our first stop for the night. 

We saw many sights along the way...things such as more concrete being erected and more construction along the highways and byways. We decided, or should I say, "I decided" we would take a different route than we normally do when taking a trip up North. This was two-fold - we were going to be stopping in Heavener, OK to see my 1st cousin who I grew up knowing, but over the years have not seen her in many, many years. I mapped out different routes for the second leg of the journey but wanted to do a few specific things on the route I knew...

When we were still on the Texas side, I saw a sign that said, Eisenhower State Park. I will need to make a trip back to visit this monument. 

As we made our way closer and closer to the state lines, we crossed the Red River. Yes, there was water in it...many times, portions of it are dry. As we continued driving, my husband's eyes are gazed out at the timber we are passing in hopes of seeing the deer. I must admit, I too, look for them when we travel. 

Welcome to Oklahoma!!! It was just passed the Red River on our way out of Texas. In my genealogy journey, I have many ancestors who lived along and near the Red River areas. I have Native American ancestors who I have heard many, many stories in days past that have roots in these areas, too. Oklahoma is rich with history and stories. As with many other areas in the great U.S.A., there are beautiful areas of the state and then some not so many areas. We are in a beautiful part of the state. There are hills and lakes, streams, and lots of timber. 

Along this same area of the highway, there was an old Trestle bridge. It was an awesome sight to behold. It was majestic! 

Just past the state line, you will find Durant, OK - this is home to the famous Choctaw Casino


We had debated stopping and dropping $20.00 each - but after a previous conversation with my daughter, she advised us that it probably would not be a good idea with my health and all since people are allowed to smoke inside of the casino areas. She also said there was a great deal of walking and my knee/foot cannot handle that either now. In fact, I tweaked it this morning so I will be reaching for the Icy Hot before we leave the hotel. 

It looks like they are building another casino or hotel area next to the famous existing Casino. As we sat at the stoplight (where I was able to snap the photo), I looked across the parking lot. In fact, we could see the parking lot from the highway before stopping at the light. It was packed. My thought was, no social distancing taking place there! Laughing out loud...and at the same time, feeling a bit apprehensive and glad we decided against going in. 

As we continued driving, we passed a truck hauling a large airboat. That was a neat sight to see. 

We saw a sign that said, ARMY AMMUNITION DEPOT. Wait, what? It was a government sign, and it was huge. I always found things like army tanks and caravans neat to see. This sign piqued my interest. I was thinking silently to myself though, why would they want to broadcast where this depot was? Guess that will be a conversation for a later time. We continued to drive...

There were many fields that had cows and horses in them.  There were plain white cows. There were Brahma Bulls. The horses were beautiful too. We saw solid colored ones and then ones that are called Painted. (I think that is what they are called anyway). 

In Oklahoma, we kept seeing signs along the highway about jams/jellies, Amish bread, tomatoes, and other things that are normally found in a Farmer's Market. Yes indeed, there was a large fruit stand in one of the small towns. It was already closed for the day when we passed through. Seeing these signs triggered a memory from my childhood when my family would travel from Amarillo to the Mineral Wells, Texas area to visit my great grandparents and other family members. We would always pass large signs along the highway that encouraged passer Byers to stop and shop. Yes, fresh fruit and vegetables. Fruit stands. 

We made it to our destination for the night. McAlester, Oklahoma. We decided to eat before we got to the hotel. I had written out a few of the local restaurants in the area and let my husband decided where we would eat. 

He chose, Marilyn's. Home Style Cookin'. 


The restaurant itself was quaint. There were antiques placed along the top of the wall throughout the restaurant. Old lunch boxes, old hand mixers, old tin cans - many of which triggered different memories we both had. There was even an old milk bottle about half full of glass marbles. (who sees those anymore?)

 







Marilyn's was home cooking at its best. I must say, the food was amazing. My husband chose a hamburger with a small chef salad and I chose a chicken breast with a side of okra. 




We were not disappointed. The food was fresh and delicious! The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice. We both gave Marilyn's 5 stars out of 5! If you are ever in the area, be sure to stop by and give them a try. You will not be disappointed. 

We are settled in now at the hotel. I am tired. The hub is already counting Zzzzz's. 

Until Day 2, I bid you good night...

Ten Things of Thankfulness - October 9, 2020

 Today is Ten Things of Thankfulness...where to start? 

 

Number 10 - I am thankful for nature's beauty. The trees, the countryside, the animals grazing in the fields. The feathered birds in the sky. The leaves changing colors in the timber. 

Number 9 - I am thankful for another day of life. Each breath is a blessing from my Heavenly Father above. 

Number 8 - I am thankful for my family. This time last year, I was amid going through a divorce...BUT God! It has not been an easy year since, but we are making progress. Hopefully...

There are too many years invested to toss it away like a piece of trash. (That's how I felt last year...tossed out like a piece of crumpled up trash.) Rebuilding trust with another human being that was shattered by choices made is not an easy feat. Daily, I ask God to heal my hurts and to restore my love for the man I have been married to for nearly 22 years. I also ask God to teach me how to forgive and learn how to trust again...

Number 7 - I am thankful for the rest of my family. Children, grandchildren, siblings, and cousins. I will have the opportunity of meeting several new cousins along our journey to Illinois. We are currently traveling from Texas.  My husband is from there. He and his sister are the only ones left in his immediate family. His younger sister died on his birthday in 2010 from Bone Cancer. It was fast and furious...her suffering was short-lived. For that, we are thankful but losing her was and still is hard at times for the loved ones left behind. Rest in Peace Darlene...

 


Number 6 - I am thankful for my wrinkly hands. For as long as I can remember, I recall my mom saying, 'she didn't want to get old because she didn't want to have wrinkly hands'. As many of you know, we lost mom in February 2020 just before COVID hit.... her cancer had returned. Like my husband's baby sister, mom's recurring cancer was fast, and it was like fire through her body. Only this time, instead of it manifesting in the areas where it was before - it began eating away at her neck and on her face. She did not last long after the doctors told us they recommended radiation or chemotherapy. We decided as a whole, not to have mom go through the agony of those treatments...she was ready to be with dad. 

As I gaze at my hands. They have become withered looking. Wrinkly...a tear falls down my face. I miss you mom and guess what, I have wrinkly hands. They are not soft like yours were. They have the feel of hard years lived. Regardless of how much lotion I use. 


Number 5 - I am thankful for HOPE. Without it, we have nothing. I walk, talk, live, and breathe HOPE daily. 

Number 4 - I am thankful for being able to complete 8 out of my 15 Memory Albums project I am currently working on. Here is a sneak peek of a few pages from the latest one. This one was requested and purchased. 







Number 3 - I am thankful for a good night's sleep. I have not been sleeping well lately and am waiting on the Pulmonologist to determine the 'why's. I am off to bed after I publish this post...

Number 2 - I am thankful for each of you and your kind words when you take the time to read my posts and drop me a comment or two. 

Number 1 - I am thankful for Dyanne. She is the one who invited me to Ten Things of Thankfulness a few months back. I am going to have the opportunity of meeting her face to face when we go through Springfield, MO on Saturday. I am so excited to have this opportunity. Can you tell? 

Now that I have named my ten things I am thankful for this week, have you come up with ten things too? If so, let me hear from you...if not - surely you can find at least one thing you are thankful for. 

Until next week...

Good night.

Wordless Wednesday - Day 7

 Day 7 in the Ultimate Blog Challenge




The top photo is of my brother and my great granny Nellie Cordelia (Martin) Chenault. Yes, that's me sitting beside her. I was about five years old I suppose. 

The bottom photo is four generations. Me and my brother (being held by my mom), her mother, and then my mom's grandmother - Nellie Cordelia (Martin) Chenault. 

Walking with my ancestors makes my heart happy...

How many of you knew your great grandparents? How about your grandparents?

Should I Stay or Should I Go

 Day 8  in the Ultimate Blog Challenge


My husband and I have been planning our vacation since the end of January. We were scheduled to travel to Indiana to meet cousins on my mom's paternal lines. Then COVID happened!

Our plans were put on hold because of my health and the pandemic. We decided to take the 'wait and see' approach before moving forward with our travel plans.  

Watching the daily chaos throughout our land, we decided 'not' to take a vacation after all and stay closer to the house. That was until my husband received a phone call from his sister saying they were going to be holding a Memorial in the area for the Veteran's and their dad's name was going to be honored. So, plans began again...

My dilemma...should I stay or should I go. Having already spent two and a half weeks in the hospital a few months back, having COVID and plenty of other health issues - this has been a tough decision and at the same time, a pretty straightforward one with all things considered. I mean after all, anytime our weather changes I am sick and going to Illinois, the weather is much different than what Texas is having these days...

I have said I was not going...then a few days later, say I am. My family has begun laughing at me because I cannot make up my mind. No, we are not going to Indiana after all - that part of the vacation changed. We are going to Illinois where my husband's family lives. 

Earlier in the week, I had decided yet again - not to go as the risk was too great. For both me and for my family (grandson particularly) since I spend a great deal of time with him. Then I started thinking...if I do not go on this trip - no telling when I will be able to get away again. So yet again, I told my husband and my daughter I was going! My daughter is betting that I will change my mind again, but so far - my bags are packed, and I just have a few last-minute details to pull together on Friday. 

I have my arsenal of Lysol, a box of gloves, plenty of masks, hand sanitizers (in my purse, and some in the car). I am also taking disinfectant wipes as well. I have all my medications packed, my nebulizer, blood pressure machine, my CPAP, and the heating pad too! I am ready to get this show on the road...I mean the car. If anyone knows me, they know I LOVE road trips...COVID or not!!!! Have a map will travel has always been my philosophy. Now it is the GPS... (laughing out loud). 

We will be meeting a cousin of my husbands who lives in Indiana. We are going to meet halfway somewhere. I am hoping too, that I will get to meet a cousin of mine from my 4th great grandfather's line. We met by way of DNA matches. We both are pumped at the possibility of meeting face to face. I am saddened that I will not be able to meet the cousin that this entire trip was planned around, but at another time in our future, we will make it happen. Hey, Deb....maybe we can plan that Yellowstone trip!? 

I have a few cemeteries on my mind that I want to visit. One is for my husband's side of the family. I want to see if I can find the headstones of people who are in his family tree without a Find A Grave record. A few months ago, one of his 1st cousins was able to track down their great-great grandfather's headstone for me, but it was broken in several pieces. I know he is not going to be too keen on going on these hunts of mine, but he has mentioned in recent conversations of us going. For that I am grateful...

On the first part of our trip, we are going to stop in Oklahoma to visit a 1st cousin on my adopted dad's side. I have not seen this cousin in years. I think the last time I saw her was at our grandmother's funeral. We both are excited! 

This vacation is going to be different than in years past. I do not have a lot of things planned for us as I do normally. We are just going to chill with his family and play each day as it comes. I am sure I will get out and about by myself occasionally. I have many people to meet along the way and conversations to have. 

The dilemma of 'should I stay or should I go' has been decided. I am going! I have cemeteries to find, ancestors to track down and memories to make...

The music will be cranked in the car and I will be in my element...on the road again! When I am out in public, I will have my masks and gloves on - you can be sure of that! 

How many of you have put off taking trips since COVID and the rest of the chaos in our world? Or have you taken the stance, you are going to live life - regardless? Let me hear from you...

Until we meet again,

A Day Late and a Dollar Short

 Day five in the Ultimate Blog Challenge


Day five got away from me as I had multiple doctor appointments and MRI's on the schedule. A quote I remember my dad saying through my teen years was 'a day late and a dollar short'. I think that fits my delay in posting my write up for day 5. 

Yes, because today is day six and that post will be coming shortly and as for the dollar short, I dropped close to $1000 dollars on my procedures and yes, I was a dollar short! In fact, I was more than half of it short as I was not expecting to come up with so many copays. So much for insurance where 'big' tests come into play. Between the MRI, the CT scan with contrast, X-rays, cortisone injection, and two different lab work procedures - the copays for each were unreal. Oh wait, then there were the seven prescriptions I picked up as well! 

Grammarist describes the quote as an American idiom that has been in use for many decades. An idiom is a word, group of words, or a phrase that has a figurative meaning that is not easily deduced from its original meaning. 

As I thought about the quote, 'a day late and a dollar short' - my mind immediately went to Wimpy in the Popeye cartoons. When he would tell the person he was speaking to, "I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today". That is kind of how I felt with the multiple copays. Just do them and I will pay you later...and I would have loved to have eaten a hamburger after all those procedures! 

Did you know there was a movie called, A Day Late and a Dollar Short starring Whoopi Goldberg? It came out in 2014. The movie is about the star being worried about her next asthma attack because it might possibly kill her, but she is trying to solve the problems of her estranged husband, (Ving Rhames) and their four adult children. 


In case you are interested, I found this movie on the Lifetime Channel. 

Have you ever had an instance where you were a day late and a dollar short? Tell me about it...

Have a great day!

Pistachio Cake

Here it is Sunday morning and I have designated Sunday blogs to In the Kitchen

Earlier in the week, my youngest daughter had come over to visit. She and my grandson visit quite a bit. During her visit, she asked me if I had any recipes of my mom’s. I replied, 'yes I do - I inherited her cookbooks and I even have recipes from your Great Granny, my mom's mother". As I was busy in the kitchen, I stopped to see her reaction when I told her I had the cookbooks. She was smiling. I asked her why she asked, and all I got was "I was just wondering". She went on to ask, 'did you have anything special or what was your favorite thing Gammy (as my kids called my mom) cooked? 

I had to ponder that question for a little bit as there were several things mom cooked that I enjoyed eating and that I miss today. There is nothing like mom's homecooked meals...

As I continued washing the dishes or whatever it was I was doing, I answered my daughter's question with mom's Sunday roasts or her fried chicken cooked in the cast iron skillet or better yet, the electric skillet. My daughter said, 'yes - I miss Gammy's roast too, but you make a delicious roast, too mom! 

This morning as I sat down to write this post, I pulled out mom's brittle Betty Crocker Cookbook. Both the front and back covers are off, and the pages are falling out of the book. Several years ago, I planned on making a Junk Journal out of it to preserve the memories. So far, that has not happened and all the pages, recipes, and notes from mom and granny are tucked away safely in an envelope on my shelf. 

Here is a photo of a few things’ mom had tucked away inside...


Mom enjoyed cooking when she could. Later in life, her health was such that it hurt her to stand for long periods in the kitchen. 

I have many fond memories of mom and dad making Christmas candy during the holidays. They would make all sorts of Fudge, Martha Washington's, Peanut Brittle, Divinity, a variety of cookies, and Haystacks. The Haystacks were my favorite candy with Divinity coming in as a close second. I cannot eat either one much these days as sweets and I do not see eye to eye very much. I am glad I did not take up baking as a hobby. That was never my forte' at all...

My daughter loves to bake. A few years ago, we bought her a KitchenAid Mixer with all the different attachments. I am sure one day in the future, she will inherit the Betty Crocker Cookbook as well as all the other ones I have too. I personally do not own a newer version of the Betty Crocker Cookbook. I have wanted to buy one, just never have gotten around to doing so. Maybe I will add one to my Christmas Wish List...

A memory I have of mom anytime she was in the kitchen cooking or baking; the telephone was tied to her ear (figure of speech) and a toothpick was in her mouth. The toothpick has been a long-standing funny within the family from my kids as they too, remember their gammy swishing the toothpick back and forth on multiple occasions. 

This photo is a great example of mom, the phone, and the toothpick! If you look closely, you can see the Betty Crocker Cookbook sitting up on the ledge between the kitchen and the living room. This was my childhood home in Amarillo, Texas out in Pleasant Valley. The electric skillet I mentioned is also sitting on the cabinet. Laughing out loud...

The recipe I would like to share with you today is one my mom made many times. Although I do not remember eating any of it, she made it regularly when there was a church function happening. Maybe you have baked this cake or even eaten a slice of one. What are your thoughts?  Do you like Pistachios? They are my son in law's favorite nut. Maybe I need to bake him one over the holidays. 


PISTACHIO CAKE

Cake Ingredients: 

White Cake Mix

3/4 c. oil

1 box of Pistachio Pudding mix (small)

1 c. 7-Up

1/2 c. chopped nuts (Pecans and/or Pistachios)

3 eggs

1/2 c. coconut

Mix all the ingredients together and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. 


Icing:

2 envelopes of Dream Whip (do they even make that anymore?)

1 box Pistachio Pudding (small box)

1 1/2 c. milk

After the cake has come out of the oven, mix, and spread the icing on the cake. 

Sprinkle the top with 1/2 c. chopped pecans and 1/2 c. coconut


Now that I have typed this recipe up, it sounds delicious. I think I am going to add this to one of our holiday meals. Move over Pumpkin Pie, there is a new cake in town...

Slice yourself up a piece and enjoy it!

Celebrate YOU!

 Day three in the Ultimate Blog Challenge

While working on the current album I am creating, I noticed there was a tag that said, "Celebrate You" among the pages. As I sat here cutting and trimming, measuring, and gluing (not in any particular order) ...ruminating on the words and content that were dancing across my mind like a congested highway, I sat quietly and sighed. Celebrate YOU...

How many of you have ever been celebrated? Are you celebrated in your home by the people who say they love and honor you? Or are you just going through the motions out of convenience? Celebrate YOU...

Today is my oldest daughter's birthday. October 3. The day she was born, we had snow on the ground in the Texas Panhandle. Well, actually - it was more like a blizzard as my parents could not make the trip to the hospital in Hale Center from Amarillo because the highway was treacherous.  Like that blustery cold day in 1986 when I celebrated your birth, today I celebrate you in my heart and in my thoughts just as much. You see, I have not seen or spoken to my daughter in 7 1/2 years. She chose to walk out of my life for reasons unbeknownst to me without any communication whatsoever. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about her. She is a beautiful young lady with a bright future ahead of her. Regardless of the choices made, I celebrate YOU



Let me pose a question to you. How do you like to be celebrated? Quietly, reverently, with a big shebang or not at all? 

I have never been one for big hoopla’s and the spotlight on me. I recall when I was turning 14 years old, my mom and dad planned a 'surprise' birthday party for me at a small, quaint ice cream parlor. Did you read the word, surprise? Yes...it was supposed to have been a surprise anyway- but while I was work, people started arriving for my 'celebration' and someone asked me when the party was starting? I am sure I had a dumbfounded look on my face because earlier in the day I had gotten upset because nothing was planned for my birthday. Talk about feeling bad now...all along, they were going to celebrate me, I just did not know it. 

Celebrate YOU... 

Today, tomorrow, next week, or even next year - how do you want to be celebrated? 

Happy Birthday, mi lady...I love you and I celebrate YOU!

Love knows no bounds...

Remember When

Remember when things were simple, and life just seemed to BE.  As I am sitting here at my crafty desk working on the album for the Boutiqu...
