The good, the bad, and the motherfucking fuck.
The good? My brother's had a small miracle. When he went to have his liver enzymes tested, they were ridiculously high. Pretty much a death sentence sort of high. He came north to visit mom, has been a good boy, been drinking lots of water and eating grilled foods. And sleeping. Sleeping a lot.
He heads back to the doctor and his enzyme levels are almost normal. He won't have to get chemo. The doctor told him he was very surprised, that 'I didn't expect to see you again alive.' Jesus.
So he's in the clear, for now, and as long as he lives clean, he will stay that way. Maybe it will scare him straight, and I hope so. He's been given a second chance.
not everyone's been so lucky in their health, however. Had a brother-in-law pass away really suddenly yesterday morning. Lu's sister had been married to him for 16 years. They have two boys, around 12 and 10 years old or so. She's pretty much inconsolable and we've been playing distraction with the boys.. playing video games and being silly and trying to keep them from thinking too much.
Lu's family is huge and close-knit and everyone will take care of each other. He thinks the world of his siblings, really.
So I'm going to be a spotty presence on the 'net for awhile. Sorry for anyone trying to get ahold of me. I'll talk back atcha soon.
