This has been a day of upsetting news. My grandmother passed away last night, leaving my grandfather and her five sons, plus her extended family in mourning.
I have also received news that one of my closest friends since high school is gravely ill, with multiple types of bacteria in his blood, and a compromised immune system. His wife and two kids are pretty worried about him.

I took the cats to the vet today. Nova is fine, other than needing her teeth cleaned. Luna, on the other hand...
She had lost a significant amount of weight since last year, and had been hiding out a lot more. The vet found something odd when she palpitated Luna's abdomen. X-rays were kind of ambiguous, as there was a good bit of biological matter in her colon. Monday they're going to clear her out and take another X-ray. I left her at the vets over the weekend, as it's very hard to get her into the carrier.
Some nothing serious~ma for Luna, if you can spare it.

Hi everyone. Kaylee and I are going to be walking in this year's annual Wiggle Waggle Walk on Sept. 30th to support the Pasadena Humane Society. If you would be willing to help me to reach my goal of $300, I would be deeply grateful! [link]

Turns out Luna had a nasty hairball clogging up the works. Everything should be fine now. Thanks for the ~ma.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Asking for ~ma for my mom this afternoon. She'll be at the doctor for analysis of a mass they spotted in her lung. Since she's already had cancer twice, let's cross our fingers that it is a benign tumor of some sort.

Sorry to say it likely IS lung cancer. It appears to be in both lungs. The doctor said it has not grown at all in the last three months and she is otherwise healthy, so he suggests doing nothing and keeping a close eye on it for the next few months. He feels chemo is not indicated because she is 83 and has had chemo before, and he told her cancer grows slowly in the elderly. The point is for her to be active and "peppy" (his words) and enjoy life for as long as possible. I suspect that the cancer has progressed enough that due to her age it really ISN'T treatable, and this is his way of framing that truth.
I don't need hugs, but I am in a bit of shock right now.
