I've been in a haze the last few weeks. Not like many of you read this, but I need somewhere to vent.
Dad just got out of the hospital again today.
They're saying he has a "months" left. But they don't know how long.
It seems he has cancer in his esophagus, which spread to his adrenal glands and then his liver.
He doesn't really know or understand this yet.
Lucky me though, I got to tell my mom, sister, brothers, and niece.
Paul, I'm sorry I haven't answered your calls, but I've been a bit busy and exhausted.
He went home today, and mom is extremely scared that he'll start smoking in bed again and fall asleep and burn the house down...she made him promise to only smoke outside or on the patio, but dad has been smoking for at least 60 years, and I don't know how long he will keep that promise.
They're going to try to treat his cancer with either pills or chemo, but we'll have to wait to see how the treatment affects him to see if it affects the quality of his life.
I hate this.
I also hate to say this, but please don't call me right now unless you actually need me. I'm really not up to talking unless it's Walker or family.
And out of the blue, if you have or haven't seen "Across the Universe" and you're any kind of Beatles fan, get the soundrack.
