Here's an update for everyone since I actually have more than five seconds right now lol...well mom's surgery went fine it wound up being on the third of october instead of the first because when they tried on the first her throat swelled when they tried to intubate...everything was fine steroids pumped to bring down the swelling and got the tube in on that friday...she wound up with a triple bypass...veins out of both legs plus the left mammary artery...she actually had 5 major blockages...but in only three arteries...life has been hard since...having to do the laundry and cooking and cleaning for a 5-6 person household is not the easiest thing in the world when I have tests every week in all four of my classes...i'm passing but not good enough for my own standards. And that's not mentioning having to help mom with everything that she personally needs done from wound cleaning to blood sugar testing to pill organization...speaking of blood sugar yeah the steroids that she needed pumped into her deactivated her insulin and she developed drug induced diabetes melitus...wonderful...well at least that is becoming stabilized and she doesn't need her insulin anymore thank goddess...i think the only thing keeping me going right now really is daily chakra cleansing complete with meditation, daily devotions and affirmations. On the greater side I am also now officially ordained...yep just call me Rev. C. L. Branum...made a deal with them basically...they wanted me to go to "school" and do more studying...well talked to them and asked if I could test out of everything they wanted me to study...they agreed and after um...13-14 years of study I damn better well pass those tests and I did...with flying colors and made grades that meet even my high standards. Getting a good chance to educate the general public as well since I have even further come out of the proverbial broom closet as far as school goes and all...scared a southern baptist at first but going over history with her these past couple of weeks she has been seeing how a lot of the basis for the christian holidays, rituals, and what not came down from paganism in King James' era she's not so scared anymore especially since she now understands that you can't worship a being you don't believe oh say like the devil *grins* well class starts once again in a glorious three minutes...oh yea
