This is primarily an update for my closest friends waiting for me on AIM but also an attempt at setting my mind somewhat at ease.
My grandfather has been suffering from an open wound on his leg for as long as I can remember. Over the years and especially this summer when it got worse rapidly and much harder to live with we tried a series of different treatments but a couple of days ago the doctor came to the conclusion that removing the leg would be the only option now. The operation is going to take place tomorrow around noon UK time and even though we're hoping, there's a chance he might not make it through the op considering he's nearly 90.
I'm not a religious person, and I don't believe in prayer (at least not that me doing it would have any effect on my life), but I'm supersticious enough to believe in the power of kind thoughts (as cheesy as that might sound). So I just wanted to get this out there, just in case, you know... :) It's not like there's anything else I can do now.
(Liv, Maria, Sophie [no idea if you're home now but whatever] don't worry, I'm not offline bc I'm distraught, I'm holding up ok just now, but I have to kind of manage the family right now, since mum is not coping too well, of course, and my father can't be counted on in such matters - so you know, cooking, taking concerned phonecalls, getting mum to sleep, etc. are on the table. But I'll keep you updated and I'll be back online soon. Love you, girls.)
