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.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My grandfather died this morning. He was a very good man. Please think of him and my family.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Hi there. So I just applied for a permanent placement in my job. I really really want it as it would give me a fantastic job that I love that allows me to spend my days with Em, summers off, kick-ass health insurance, and entrance into the teacher's union. Please send the job ~~~ ma.

Compassionately intolerant
Good morning!
May I please have some 'best possible outcome' ~ma?
I have finished my financial aid application for Sibley hospital just under the deadline and am completely stressed out. It's being delivered today and I really need for the evaluating committee to be on my side. If they are, it could have positive long-term implications for both my physical and financial health.
All good thoughts deeply appreciated.
The committee meets this Friday!
