I'd like to request some ~ma for my dad and my stepmom's family. My step-grandfather passed away on Friday of mesothelioma. While this has been expected for a while, 'it's always sudden.' Also, even though I acquired Brian when I was 16, I was closer to him than I was to either of my biological grandparents.
The holidays are going to be rough.
I would also like to request some ~ma for my mom's boyfriend Ray. He just had a stroke today and is in hospital.
If any of our librarian types have access to Kirkus, can you check and see if STARS was actually reviewed? I just got a Google Alert on it, but can't access it because I'm not a subscriber.
A little safe and successful surgery ~ma for my Dad, if you could. Operation Remove Giant Kidney Stone kicks off at 7am, PST.
I'm asking for some ... end of life~ma for my G'ma (Mom's mom), she'll be 91 the end of the month and she's had dementia for nearly a decade. A few weeks ago she fell and cracked some ribs and in the hospital they discovered clogged arteries which they can't fix anyway due to her delicate health. Plus she's in an extreme amount of pain.
The status: Stone 1, Doctor 0.
Which is to say, they couldn't get it out this morning the easy way, so they've inserted a dreadfully large stent in uncomfortable places, and will try again later.
TCG and I are married!
My mom's boyfriend Ray is now enduring swelling on the brain. They've moved hospice into his room, as they don't want to move him.
My mom is not taking this very well (To be expected!). We lost my dad about 15 years ago the day after thanksgiving.
My grandfather died this morning. He was a very good man. Please think of him and my family.
