My family is trying to kill me with stress.
My cousin (who is, IIRC, 41) had a hip replacement today, and when my mom e-mailed to tell me the surgery was over and went well, she ALSO told me that my uncle (dad of the cousin) is in the ER with stroke symptoms. No word yet how he's doing, but he's at the hospital that's literally 3 minutes from my office, so I could go over there if need be.
The previous uncle deaths were my dad's side; this one is my mom's side.
BE HEALTHIER, FAMILY!
{{{Teppy}}} Much health~ma to your family.
Oh, Teppy. I'm thinking warm, fuzzy, non-huggy thoughts for you, and sending out the medical ~ma for your cousin and uncle.
Happy, happy birthday, Vortex!
And Teppy, thinking good thoughts that the health ~ma kicks in for the fam.
I, too, am tickled about the gay mallard necrophilia stuff.... and yes, whom else could you share this with?
Happy birthday, Vortex! I hope the world around you celebrates your amazingness today, as we do here every day. It's definitely a better place with you in it.
Teppy tons of health~ma for your family members.
I'm visiting F right now. She is mostly sleeping and not as alert as yesterday. I think they're transfering her to hospice today. This is so hard. I was only planning on staying a little while, but I just hate to leave her alone, even if she is sleeping.
