Okay, so.  After this post, I'm going to start f-locking things talking about Gramps because I realize that not EVERYONE is going to want to read about it.

( Getting old sucks. :( )

It looks like my Wednesday is going to start out with a migraine. AWESOME.  I am taking measures to cut it off before it progresses, but that hardly ever works so mostly I'm sitting here until I finish my tea.

Mom took Gramps to the neurologist yesterday, and the news is... not so good.  His MRI showed significant shrinkage in the frontal lobes ( Read more... )

I started this post out writing a happy little note about how I can actually hold a pen and write without pain for the first time in... I'm not really sure how long. And about how nice it is to be able to do so. Really, it's such a simple thing, and it's made me so incredibly happy today -- I've been writing myself little notes all day ( Read more... )

Dear Grampa:

It would please all ever so much if you could perhaps stay out of the hospital for at least six months at a time. Really ( Read more... )

Okay, to start:

Grampa's staying in the hospital another night. They had a slew of tests scheduled, and had just taken him away for the first one when I called mom at... whenever the hell I called her.

First of all: I love you guysGrampa is doing better! He has spent most of today in a room in the Emergency Treatment Center (which is the fancy name for the ER), and then a holding room -- they're keeping him overnight so they can run some more in depth tests, since not many of the ER tests are showing much of anything. However, he was more lucid ( Read more... )

Well, grampa's situation has... been interesting to say the least. For anyone who doesn't know, he took a tumble back on the 27th, and a trip to the ER revealed a compression fracture in his lower back. Wednesday morning started with him not being able to sit up or roll over or ANYTHING -- at least, not without a great deal of pain. Mom called ( Read more... )

My layout's color scheme is funky on Tora-kun's computer. Like, the background is more grey than blue, and the color in the boxes is more purple-ish. Has it always looked that way? On my 'puter, it's all a very soothing series of different blues. Weird ( Read more... )

You know those days where you feel sick to your stomach and hungry at the same time?  I hate those days.  Having one now.  The very idea of food makes me go green around the gills, and yet my stomach is begging me to put something in it.  It was the same way yesterday, and I ate, quite literally, nothing until four pm -- and even then it was ( Read more... )
