So, bad stuff has been happening to my family lately.. I guess in the last year, I have lost a baby through a still born birth at 22 weeks, then I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. My brother recently found a lump, which turned out to be a tumor. He caught it in time, and it was removed before it spread to anything else. Just last night, my father, who drives quite a bit for his job, was driving his truck when a WHEEL FELL OFF. No, not just the tire.. the WHOLE tire, the rim, the whole shibang! He was on the freeway, but had just unloaded all the stuff he was delivering. He also was only going about 50 mph.
So, ya, life has been anything but normal lately, and much of it has sucked. BUT, it all could have been worse! OK-- so not sure how the loss of my 22 week baby could have been worse. Actually, I did lose A LOT of blood and had an emergency D&C, but I'm ok, and I'll (hopefully) be able to have more babies. As far as the miscarriage goes, I'm glad it happened early, and not later on in the pregnancy. For my brother-- he caught the tumor in time, and it looks like he's going to be ok. And then there's my dad-- he's not hurt, and the accident could have gone HORRIBLY wrong. So, ya, life's not too bad either.
It does give me a headache, though.
