Stepping (again) out of the dark just to let you know, due to the terror attempt that was in Jerusalem few hours ago, that I'm fine.
Now, getting back to the dark, and to my studies.

My dad told me last night that it looks like the surgery didn't get all of his prostate cancer. He won't know more for a couple of months when he goes back in for a follow up, but radiation or chemo is a possibility. His recovery from this surgery has been pretty miserable, too. So yeah. A little health ~ma his way would be appreciated, and a whole lot of fuck cancer.

Do we have anybody in Charlotte? I'm going to be there from March 15th to the 20th, though the 15th is really the only free day.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
My sister-in-law's brother, who I posted about a bit back as being diagnosed with terminal cancer, passed away last Friday (as, through a bunch of circumstances, mainly assumptions on my mother's part that I don't blame her for making, I just found out). He was 40. The treatments to give him a little extra time to travel or just a little extra time didn't work.
Fuck cancer.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
So, turns out my Mom had a "small" stroke on Saturday morning. Finally positively diagnosed yesterday. She gets some further testing today. She says she's really feeling the difference in walking (already not great for her with diabetes and back issues) and increased pain and she really sounds like she's getting very depressed.
Any damage not too extensive, easy recovery, positive feeling-ma would be appreciated.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hey, if anyone has any spare "find the right job"~ma floating around, I'd like it. My last day here is on Friday, so I am now officially in the hunt.

Trust my rage
Ellie is home from the hospital and happy to be here. A big thanks to everyone who sent stuff. She had a great time opening envelopes, looking at cards, and playng with all the stuff. This community doesn't surprise me, because I know how great we are, but it does make me very happy.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
A little Mom-ma would help. It seems that she's got a collapsing vertebra now, so I'm heade back to PA to help with doctor's appointments and general-purpose hand-holding. Perhaps a little coping-ma for me might help, too.
