Sending you lots of love, Pix. You came to the absolute right place for no filter needed.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Timelies all!
I’m so sorry, lisah.

I’ll be keeping your Dad in my thoughts, Pix.
And thank you all for your kind words about Magellan. I miss him so much and can’t believe he’s gone.
Hang in there, Pix. This is so hard to think about, but if he's going to have to live with more support soon, you might think about not trying to get him back home. It wasn't a medical crisis, but a crisis situation that landed him in the hospital is how we got my father into the nursing home. Both because it made the transition easier ("easier") on him, but also because it's easier to get a slot when you are coming from the hospital vs. from home.
Sending you all good vibes for your dad, Pix.
I'm so sorry, lisah.

This was true with Tim's dad, too.
I'm so sorry about Magellan, lisah.
Fingers crossed for your dad, Pix.
The Year of Cancer had to get one last kick in at my family on its way out the door—my Mom's first post-surgery check up showed that hers has returned for round three. Merry Fucking Christmas. Though at least it's still Stage 1 and theoretically still non-invasive. She's having her next surgery in 10 days, and I assume they'll follow up with some sort of chemo (though her doctor refuses to use that word). Any health~ma for her would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, Matt. All the health-ma her way for smooth surgery and recovery.

Yeah, the issues with this are his dog and the financial impact. It's pretty complex. If we move him now, it's a much harder path on a lot of levels.
Matt, I'm so sorry to hear that. Dammit.
I'm sorry, Matt. It sounds like it was detected early. Much ~ma for uneventful surgery and recovery.
