Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on my disappearance as I haven't been around much.
We found out a couple of weeks ago that dad has cancer so that pretty much brought everything to a screeching halt. The original prognosis was good and with the new treatments he would get 3 treatments in a week and be fine. Now more spots have shown up on a scan and they are not sure what they are. If they prove to be cancer then that will be 8 weeks of radiation therapy and a much worse gig so we are holding out hope for the best.
Last month my cousin Angie had a heart attack and didn't make it through. She was a couple of years older than me so that was a shocker.
2 days ago my cousin had a seizure and died, she was around my age so that came as a surprise as well.
Most of the family is in Alabama right now as my aunt had surgery today and they gave her about a 10% chance of making it through. She survived the surgery and is in ICU at the moment so we are waiting to see what happens there.
Needless to say things have been a bit hectic around here and working 10-15 hour days are not helping things out. Not sure when things are going to go back to what passes for normal around here but just wanted to let everyone know that I hadn't completely fallen off the face of the Earth and I am still around.
