So, I'm faced with a large decision. My mom called me last night to ask me to go to Florida with her Jan. 3 - jan. 8. My grandpa has been very sick for while now and they think they FINALLY could have found the problem. They're going to remove his spleen completely. However, they are nervous they're going to find cancer. My mom does not handle situations like this well and I think that's the reason she wants me there. Also, I think she's really afraid that they're going to find something awful and wants me to be there just in case.. It's a sad situation but one I'm willing to cope with. My only hinderance is the fact that I will have to miss a week or more of work.. if they'll even let me. I can't afford rent as it is and I really need all the hours I can get, especially over break when I do not have school. I know this should be a clear decision, as my grandfather is so sick.. it just sucks that I have to worry about having a roof over my head.
The only perks of this situation are: getting to spend some time with my mom, grandma, and aunt, maybe enjoying nice weather in Florida when we're not at the hospital, and having a few days off of work. None of those could top the fact that my grandpa is feeling so terrible.
