update :)
so.. where to start? it's been a crappy month to be a member of my family.
christmas eve day, we were given mom's diagnosis... ovarian cancer it is. she had her first round of chemo yesterday, and being the trooper that she is, sounds like she's having an ok day. there's another 5 rounds of chemo to go, and a surgery. we'll see what happens next i guess. it's been hard to deal with and i haven't really wanted to talk to anyone about it, so i've been holding it all in. argh. this is the problem with not having any really "close" friends.
and then - my grandmother got admitted back to the hospital. this was 2 weeks ago now almost, and i doubt very much that we'll see her come home. if she comes out of the hospital at all, it will be to a nursing home, if they can find her a placement. she's very confused, and having big problems with her blood pressure.
so that leaves me.. the 3rd of these lovely ladies. i'm now battling stress (wonder why?), fatigue (i don't sleep), and constant, all day long nausea. i feel like i'm car sick all the time. i go to the obs clinic on feb 2 for my first check up, but in the mean time, i have to see my regular doctor tomorrow night for my h1n1 shot because i hadn't gotten one yet... and hopefully a prescription for something to stop the constant carsickness.
ain't life flippin' great?
