Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

am in Northside Hospital in Atlanta. I suddenly became dizzy and fell several times. It turns out I had a severe electrolyte imbalance, either due to the cancer or the chemo. I'm feeling much better, and they hope to have some idea about the cause tomorrow. I'll try to keep y'all updated in Natter.

Right now, the nightmarish part of this is in the confusion grabbing my stuff and dealing with Mr Peabody, who bit the EMT,they wouldn't give me time to find my phone. I begged for a phone for 10 hours, and it turns out that I can't call long distance anyway and can't call locally after 9. They finally gave me disposition to call my mother once.

I grabbed my tablet, but I don't have a lot of passwords, including for e-mail. I hope I can figure out something tomorrow.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ginger is in the ICU at Northside. She was transported from the rehab facility last night. She has family and friends with her.

I'm updating in Natter, but I guess I should put an update here. Ginger was moved to hospice care tonight. Doctors are saying a day or two.

Ginger has passed on. It was peaceful and rather swift at the end.

Flowers can be sent to her mother after she returns home. I don't have any more details on that yet.

I'm sorry, my friends.

Quick Note:

Our Laura had an emergency appendectomy and has been in the hospital. She's doing fine, but since it's well advertised on FB wanted to make sure everybody here knew.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm home! It is going to take a bit before I get caught up. Thanks to all for the warm wishes and ~ma. Some stop~the~stabbing~wound~pains~in~the~belly ~ma would still be welcome.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Lots of love and healing Laura!

I am really excited to announce that, in my first term back in college in many years, I got 4 A's and one B, for a cumulative GPA of 3.77! Yeah! My funding application is in and pending approval I'll be continuing into my second term, so corssed fingers and funding-ma is sincerely appreciated.

On another note, my home computer is on its last legs, which has made studying at home a little difficult. If anyone has a 2009 or later iMac or Mac Mini they would be willing to part with for a studenty price, please hit me up at my profile addy or in Buffistatech. It needs to run Mavericks and the latest edition of the Office Suite.

Thanks guys, wish me luck!

LAistas: We will be in LA, staying with friends near Griffith Observatory and visiting my sister in Culver City, the 26-30th. It's a quick trip, and we have some plans to go to Legoland on the 28th(?), but we'd love to see people if we can. Profile addy is good!
