Wanna support us......here's how!

So if you haven't noticed both my Mom and I are Connie Maxim on the blog. Just easier this way.  It is Connie typing this one, not Val....obviously Val typed the Breakfast in Bed one.....you get my drift :0) Anywho......

If you are interested in providing some support or help, we have a couple of requests. If you can help at all with anything listed below, please give Val a call to let her know

Babysitting Brampa?!?!?!!?!?

Yes even the grand kids will be keeping Bruce company after surgery, during chemo and any other time that it's needed.  I suggested to my Mom that she make one night a month her night where she can just go and be away and get a break.  If you are interested in helping with that, I think that she is going to choose a specific weekend night every month that she does this......the first Friday of the month or the third Saturday, not sure what day it will be yet but if we could get some people to cover her for this escape in the coming months, that would be awesome!

Calling all cooks - there are a ton of resources out there to keep Bruce healthy during chemotherapy and radiation.  I have looked over a ton of websites for nutrition/recipes/tips for helping with nausea and found a great resource on the Live-strong website (Lance Armstrong's Foundation Website) I am going to post some links below of recipes and nutrition so that we can start making a bunch of meals (single and family) for the Rissi household. We would really like to get a bunch of easily prepared meals that are chemo friendly that can be left in the freezer and warmed up right away. It actually kinda reminds me of a movie scene that enjoy from Babe. Farmer Hogat has to feed himself while his wife is away as well as feed the kitty. The scene shows all this Tupperware labeled for am and pm for the cat and Farmer Hogat.....in an early 1900's refrigerator.  That's what I am looking for. So that a meal can just be warmed up and eaten by Bruce that is chemo friendly and will help with the Nausea.  I actually have discovered that baking is therapeutic for me, that was post Val head injury, I was told that the banana bread just needed to keep coming this weekend.
