This solution has worked so well I wanted to share it.
My husband suffers advanced stage 4 lung cancer, it has spread. Most of his awake time is very painful as we have foregone conventional treatment methods including the morphine.
Worst yet is the depression and continual worry experienced by someone suffering from cancer.
Social interaction becomes very limited, if you are a caregiver I don't have to explain that one.
In order to get his mind off things, what can you do? The television is not enough to get his mind off the pain and thoughts still crowd in, compounding his problems with an ulcer.
In their weakened condition, there is not much they can do, my husband was down to 97 lbs when we started, he is 5'8".
The Solution
Legos! Legos allow for the mind to be focused and creative! He soon forgets the pain as he is immersed in thought trying to make a daily creation with a limited amount of legos for our daughter to see on facebook.
How he loves to hear the comments of people trying to guess what his creations are!
Some of his creations, can you take a minute and guess at what they are?

Legos have completely changed his daily outlook and cured the depression!
We don't have a lot of legos, they are hard to find these blocks and fairly expensive.
That has only made it more challenging to him to come up with creations.
(If you have some legos your kids no longer use though, they sure would be appreciated, email me via gmail)
Thanks for reading this blog, I hope you will take a guess :-)
