My sister dies the day after Christmas, my grandfather dies on Valentine's Day, My step-sister dies on Mother's Day and my uncle dies around Halloween.
This most recent one didn't have any deaths (thankfully), but I did spend a good chunk of it in the Emergency Room. Not for me, but for mom. She started having pain in her upper abdominal around 3 PM. At first she thought it was just gas, but it lasted far longer than gas usually does. At around 7, she called the doctor since it still hadn't gone away. Her PCP wasn't on call, but the doctor she works for was, and he had her stop by the office for an exam. Since I'm her taxi service, I had to come with. He thought it might be something to do with her gall bladder, so he wanted her to go to the ER in order to have some tests done and a more thorough exam. So... we did.
Turns out it was indeed a gall bladder attack (after an ultrasound and some blood work was done). Since she had been given some pain medication (by the really cute male nurse), it was determined she could be released. They told her she'd have to watch her diet from now or or face another attack. She said she felt better this morning. I think they said there may be some additional testing she'd have to go through, but with the help of some medication and a careful eye on what she eats (no greasy foods), she should be fine. No gall stones or anything of that nature. With any luck, she won't need a gall bladder-ectomy.
The cook-out itself wasn't too bad. Of course, Mom was in the middle of her gall bladder waging a war with her, so she wasn't overly social, and I'm hardly ever social, so we sat by the kiddie pool and I ate while she had a little something to drink. Way for us to meet new people, eh?
Aside from that, we didn't do anything else. We missed whatever fireworks were going on, but once you've seen them, you've pretty much seen them all.
I had to redo my headers for my userinfo page. For some reason the ones I had before went all screwy, so I had to do it a bit differently...
OMG! Today I got to see some of the scans from Furuba ch. 129!! The hug! THE HUG!!!!!! *squish* Our little Kyo's getting so big! *sniff* This really does feel like the end...
I read all of 'Absolute Boyfriend'. *cough*scanlations*cough* I couldn't stop reading it, I was wanting to see how it ended. I can't really talk about it, I'm a little depressed...
