Brenda found a notice on Facebook that Frank Dumais, our Frankenbuddha, had died.
We're seeking more information and corroboration.
ETA: It has been confirmed. They think he threw a blood clot and felt no pain.
Goodbye, Friend.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have been missing from the board for a bit. My mom had the flu, which was too much for her body to handle along with the cancer. She died, peacefully, as I sat on one side and her 91 year old sister sat on the other. My whole family has been wonderful, but I was happy to get home an hour ago. Back in two weeks for the service.

Any health~ma for my dad would be appreciated. We checked him into the hospital for pneumonia in both lungs yesterday, and so far they haven't hit on the right antibiotics to get any traction against the infection.

Please send all the prayers and vibes you can spare towards Seattle. My cousin has just been taken in for emergency surgery for a brain tumor. She lost her job, so has either no insurance or minimal, and is looking at a long, hard recovery.

My 90 y-o dad fell this morning and injured himself pretty badly. He broke his cheekbone and maybe his jaw and some ribs. But the reason I don't know the extent of his injuries is that while she was at the hospital with my dad this evening, my mom collapsed and died. It seems that she had a massive aneurysm in her stomach that burst. She was 89, and had a lot of cognitive issues, but otherwise seemed relatively healthy.
I think I am in a state that's something beyond shock.

My dad is in the ER with possible cellulitis, possible blood infection, or who knows what. I'm worried but trying not to freak out too much. Would certainly appreciate any health~ma you can spare.

If ND and I could get some unspecified ~ma to deal with a tricky situation from our Buffista peeps, we'd appreciate it. There's been some tough stuff going on behind the scenes that we can't talk about publicly but has been causing a lot of stress.
