They've moved Matt over to the ICU and they say that he'll be fully recovered in a couple of weeks. That he was lucky that the bullet wasn't a bit over to the left or he'd be a shite load of more trouble. He's still full of tubes and hooked up to several machines. But most of the swelling has went down and he doesn't look that bad. Every once in a while, he'd get up and moan a bit, but they'd put him back to sleep so he can recooperate. They say him being awake is too much of a strain on him.
Mum finally fell asleep, whilst she was knitting him something. It was rather odd to see here doing that. She hasn't picked up a knitting or crotcheting needle in years. She made him a scarf or something, I'm not exactly sure what it is, she's not that good at it. Right now it looks like a giant patch of yarn with knots in it. Maybe he could use it as a tea cozy or something. I had a long overdue heart-to-heart with mum. Got to let everything that I had built up inside me out. The whole Billy thing, the highs and lows, the attempted suicide, the Jason thing and the mark I have on my chest and now the Lucy situation. She really wants to meet Lucy, she said "I want t'see the lady who made my boy straight, just t'make sure she's not a transexual or something."I then told her that I wasn't completely straight, but I'm bisexual. Y'know, Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. She then replied, "I hope that girl has a strapon t'keep ya from goin astray." Got t'love her.
Speaking of love, I've been trying to ring up Lucy as often as I can, but it seems like her phone's always off or not working. I want t'get back to LA to be with her, but I just can't leave Matt here yet..Maybe I can bring her here.*smiles* Mum does want t'meet her..
