Thanksgiving Before Fall Camp

      It is ironic that today is World MSA Day and my sister was coming to help take care of me. Since MSA has struck I can see the steady decline. We got the extra bedroom ready after all this going to be a haven, a place to read, watch TV; a place considered her      

     I expected it to be very difficult to see her for lots of reasons.  I  was not  only admitting that I needed help with some of the things that we take for granted everyday but she has her own kids and grand-kids that I felt they were missing out on this time.  It always amazes me how one person (me) , how one person can  affect so many lives.

     So I thought if we go to Cape Breton for three weeks there will be lots of help.  I thought this was a good way to get used to my quirks.  I not only told them that we would be there for three weeks.  I also gave them heads up of the progression of the MSA.  
I did not want any my sister’s or brother’s to pick us up at the airport because I knew I would cry, because i would not  be walking off  the plane.  So I arranged for our nephew to pick us up.  I guess I did not want them to see them me wheeled in.

                      

Before leaving for Fall Camp in Cape Breton my kids wanted to make Thanksgiving Dinner. They a fabulous dinner all from scratch, it was a great  traditional dinner. I gave them full rang of the kitchen, and gave them all nicknames. So our son-in-law became “The Baconator”,our son  became, “The Stuffin Boy”, and our daughter,  '"The Queen of Spices”.

     


 We had a great dinner, board games   and a great meal and most importantly family time! We have lots to be thankful for.
