So I got bad news about my dad yesterday and I couldnt sleep until5am. Yes I know it's now 11 but my body is telling me "fuck you Kelly" cause everyone + my mom has been calling this morning.
My dad has a ependymoma tumor growing in his spinal cord. If he had waited 6 months later, he'd be paralized. The growth is pinching nerves. He is have surgery in 2 weeks where they will remove it plus 3 of his vertebrets? Yeah. That sounds so fucked up already. He is going to be in the hospital for 5 days+ and out of work for 6 weeks.
This has many implications. 1- there is you know, the fact he's my dad and he's having shitty stuff go on. 2- his job. what if they decided after he's been there 22 years+ that they don't want to wait on him to get better 3- wtf would my family do? my dad is like the glue, finacially and emotionally.
I love my father. so much. he has been the best parent, the best friend, the best everything. He would do anything for anyone, he is the most selfless person I have known besides my franny (his mother). He works harder then probably most of his coworkers, and he's so dedicated to everything he is involved in.
If anything happens...I will be devestated.
