My 91-year-old mom is in the hospital with a broken wrist and a cracked pelvis. Any ~ma you can spare would be appreciated.

So I cracked a joke this morning about the cold weather almost killing me....and now I've been in the hospital/ER for most of the day with something they thought might be heart related but is starting to look more like really severe anemia. Which is a good direction but still undetermined. It's nothing ~ma appreciated.

Asking for spare ~ma and such for my mom, who will be starting chemo soon for cancer: the return, this time it's skeletal. Her doctor still thinks she'll make it to 90 (she's 82), but it's been a shitty health time on the parental front for a few months and I'm a walking frayed nerve at the moment.

My father died in November. -ma would be appreciated as I attempt to tie up his affairs and figure out what the hell comes next in my life. I don't know if any Buffistas other than vw ever met him, but here's the obituary for anyone curious about someone they never met and now never will: [link]

Our precious Sammie cat just had a seizure and died.

Anyone able to give me some grown up financial advice. I need more than short term help, I need a plan. Profile email is good.

Got the call this afternoon and I am officially an employee of Plymouth-Canton Schools! I will continue working in the ASD center at the local middle school, with kids from 12 - 15. It's challenging work, as most of the students are not verbal and some have issues like trying to walk out of the classroom or various types of shouting, etc, but it's really satisfying, too. I'm really happy about this.

As of yesterday, my mother is back home after convalescing from her broken wrist and pelvis.

Thank you all for the ~ma and well wishes.

This is a rough thing to have to put in writing, but my business is in a bad spot due to expanding last year, and then hitting an epically slow first quarter this year. Unfortunately I'm already stretched to my limit and we cleaned out all of our savings last year in order to buy our house. It's a perfect situation that has me in a position where I could lose the company I've had for more than a decade now. If anyone is in a financial position where they think they might be able to help out I'd be very thankful to hear from you. The business has contracts coming in starting next month, and we have the normal strong business moving forward, and some amazing new clients that have been added, but right now I can't get through the near term.

So there it is. My little company is in a rough financial position. If you might be able to help send me a note on my profile address. Thanks.

I'm requesting all the available ~ma for my Dad, who is 83 and was hospitalized yesterday for pneumonia and fluid on his lungs. He was recently diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis after the pneumonia he got over maybe 3 months ago.
