Life in Fraser Lake is good but I am finding winter to be long. These are just no people here and I am getting lonely. Only 3 more months of winter so I hear. Spring is slow to come around this area they tell me and usually not until May. I am planning a trip home sometime in late March early April. Then I want to go to Tijuana and replenish all my supplements. I have Jamie on the B-17 now as well. I don’t think Jamie will be able to come to Mexico with me so I am going to take a special friend. Not everyone believes in my Tijuana Doctors so I tend to not talk about my treatments there with everyone. I don’t need the negativity so I seek out only those who understand. I am here to say Dr Castillo saved my life. I am so lucky I found the clinic there. Because had I followed my doctors in Edmonton at the Cross Cancer I would be 6 1/2 years dead already. Scary thought 🤨😳

Jamie seems to be handling the chemo meds well so far. He has to get blood tests every month, we tried to get the tests done in Fraser Lake as he has had them here before. But the rules have changed now ………… of course they have……. He has to get a doctor here for the requisition, sounds simple enough. No it is not. There is a waiting list minimum 4 months maximum 18 months. (We’re on two lists).. That’s our great health care in Canada now. So we then have to go to Prince George to a special lab that will do out of province blood tests. Off we go on a Friday morning. It is a 2 hour drive ( a little longer for Jamie as he drives slower and slower as he gets older He he he ) we get to the lab. They need to call our Doctors office in Edmonton to get some special number they need to do said tests. Ok we sit and wait !!!!!! After about 30 minutes out from the back comes a nurse ( I think she was) all dressed in blue surgical gown, hair net, blue shoe covers and rubber gloves. She calls us over. She can’t get an answer at our doctors office. We will need to go and find a dr somewhere to get a new requisition. I tell her we’re from Fraser Lake we’re on two waiting lists. There are no doctors to get. I said let me try our doctor. I call her all the time they always answer. So I call the receptionist answers first ring . I tell her about the nurse saying no answer she tells me no one has called there. 🧐 I talk to this blue nurse again. I tell her what the receptionist is saying. I say here take my phone you, she won’t touch my phone or the paper I wrote the number on she goes to back we wait an hour. I need to say there is a HUGE sign says we do not take any harassment if so we will not help you…. Period. Lucky there is I sign I was about to loose my shit. So I go back up to reception I talk to nurse behind desk can you please give nurse in back ( dressed in blue ) the phone number to call we have been here two hours now with no answers. She thankfully takes it. A whole hour later blue nurse comes our and gives us a thumbs up. No words just a thumbs up 👍🏻 Finally 2 1/2 hours later. Jamie finally goes in he is about 5 minutes. We’re done. I ask if we can make appointment for next month sure says the nurse. In 6 weeks. I said he needs to repeat every month, oh sorry she says we only do 6 week appointments …… ( I kid you not ) off we go back in one month 🤨😳

Today we are having a snow storm. When I say snow storm I mean it. We have had about 6 since Christmas break. The snow that comes down is crazy. We get 6 inches in a couple hours. luckily I have hired the boy next door to do my shovelling. As soon as we get some he is right here after school. Great kid. Jamie and Mac both said wow he sure comes quickly after every snow. How much do you pay him they ask ? I think I might be over paying him. But he is worth every penny and saves me hours of shovelling. Lol lol. How much do I pay him ???? That’s between him and I. 🤭

We might have to move from Fraser Lake in a month or so. To Burns Lake about 45 minutes ( again unless Jamie is driving then an hour ) it is more west still on highway 16. We took a drive that way yesterday there are a few good grocery store Save on Foods, Independent. It’s the small things that mean so much to me. Lol A few little shops in the downtown core. Some more for me to do. Mac saw a big Rec Center that has a gym in it. I told the boys I will get a lot of use out of that place ….. NOT. Lol lol I have done some calling around but the prices are crazy to move there. We pay $300.00 a month now. It is around $ 1000.00 to $1500.00 a month at each place..then power on top of that and propane on top of that. So it doesn’t seem feasible. 🤬 I guess we will see. We could be this way for a while now as the project they are working on just got awarded more work. Looks like an extra year added on.

We have had a BIG problem with our satellite dish. The company that puts them in has to make a new receiver box as Shaw Satellite put a new satellite in the sky my receiver box is not programmed to find the new one. They have been working on this problem for almost 3 months. I have not had my regular TV since the beginning of January. Every week they tell me next week. I have lost faith. I have watched about 20 series so far. Right now I am on the crown. I sure hope the powers that be get on with this stupid fix soon. 😢😢

Mac turns “40” this month I can’t believe my baby is 40. He has booked some time off and Jolee is having a party for him back home. He has not been home in 10 years for his birthday he says, and no cake for that long as well. So I made him an Angel Food cake yesterday and we had his favourite spaghetti and meat sauce for supper. When he and BJ were kids they always got to choose their favourite meal for supper on their birthday day and they also choose what kind of cake they wanted. So even at 40 some things still go on. lol lol Happy Happy my Son have a wonderful time at your party even though Dad and I can’t be there. Remember if not for us you wouldn’t be either 😂😂

Lastly my health seems to be good. I am looking forward to going to Tijuana again and getting a good check up, because it seems impossible to get one here. My doctor in Edmonton does mostly phone calls now. If not for me asking I don’t think there would be any follow up done on me ever. of course it is always in the back of my mind. Will my cancer come back or when will my cancer come back. It’s a horrible way to live your life. But that’s the hand I have been dealt. Now we have Jamie dealing with the same. We both need to stay very in tuned to our bodies and be aware of any new problems. Hopefully nothing else comes up. Together we are stronger than anything that tries to knock us down. My love my soulmate forever. 🥰❤️🥰
