So I have been a little distracted because....

I have some interesting things to share with you all. So first we must start with when I was in second grade - or seventh grade - I think with second. Sorry guys.

In second grade, my grandpa (my dad's dad) had colon cancer or bone marrow cancer. (I think it was colon cancer, because, well, that's not important, anyway...) So that was devestating to my family. Then in seventh grade he died from whichever he didn't have when I was in second grade. All tragic and everything and I started wearing his clothes and yadda yadda yadda. So my dad decided that he needed to start having physicals and colonoscopies and all that fun stuff. So he went in for a physical, and they told him that he needs to watch is cholesterol and heart. So my dad has been following his diet scrictly and they set up an appointment for a colonoscopy (i hope that is spelled closely). Well, my dad is almost flat stomached now and has lost the beginning of his 1 1/2 chin. (Not quite two) He looks great. Well, he went in for the colonoscopy. They found something. So our world was turned about 45 degrees. So then my mom went in for a mammogram, which they recommended after her hyserectomy (i can't spell - uterus removal). Yeah, they found something and made her go back again.Which turned our world another 45 degrees. Depending on the results our world could turn completely upside down. So here we are sitting around waiting for both of my parents to get their results back. It was so frustrating. I kept imagining the worst. Darren told me not to. But I couldn't help it. What if the absolute worst happened? I could make it. But what about Merrill? Who would take care of Merrill? Well, my parents talked about it, starting to prepare. Well, I don't think that I made the top 3. But anyway. I didn't know when I was supposed to find out mom's results, they were just going to call whenever. But my dad's results were supposed to come back today. So. My dad had a frickin irratation! Not even a polyp! Which is great. But my first thought was "Yeah, of course his colon is irritated! How many laxitives did he have to take????" So that was great news. So then my mom said that her doc called. And they found something, but it's not cancer. They don't know what it is. They are going to watch it. They way she sounded, it could turn into it, but most likely not. Maybe I am reading into it. I don't know. But so far so good! So that is my really exciting day. I wish you all could have seen me. My mom called me while I was in the Walmart parking lot trying to find my car. And I sure as heck wasn't talking quietly. So yeah.
They only bad thing from today was that I haven't acomplished much. And the register at work broke, so things got really interesting. Anyway. So I will catch you all later! Bye bye!
