"Slap me with a splintered ruler..."

Ok first off... apologies to those who actually read that last post. I was having a bad day. Here's why.
My Grandma Jaques has breast cancer. At first they thought it was just and isolated tumor even if it was a rare and aggressive form of cancer. She had her lumpectomy and they took 13 lymph nodes to be sure... turns out all 13 have cancer and they found a second tumor. Now she needs radiation, chemo, and another surgery. The doctors are less sure she's going to make it.

My health is better than hers. I had my meeting with my surgeon, he said my blood work is MUCH better, and clinically I'm feeling much better. So I'm getting surgery next month, waiting to hear from the hospital as to when exactly. While they're taking out my gallbladder they're going to inject some contrast fluid into the duct to see if the stone is still there, if there is then after I'm healed from my surgery I have to get a scope put down my throat and up into the duct to remove it. Ack. I'm feeling very anxious about all of this.

Through all of this I haven't really had anyone to talk to about it. So I had just found out that my grandma is probably dying, and I'm anxious as hell and I'm all alone with it. So I ranted, and went Emo for a bit. But I'm over it now.

Not much is new really. I am still job hunting, holy frustrating. I refuse to work at superstore or a&w... I refuse.

Anyway, that's all for now. Lola Out.

I'm so sorry. I definatly went through a hard time when my Babci got sick and I'm sure you're feeling pretty much the same. As for your illness; hang in there. I've never seen a complication from that type of surgery and know you'll be fine. But....but....no junk food?! I feel for you. Best of luck!
