I'm venting a little right now because no one is around and this is my only outlet. What a pisser. My uncle that has been battling lung cancer finds out last week that he is also battling colon cancer, which is now the size of a grapefruit in his abdomen. It is wrapped around too many things so they did a bypass of the tumor and plan to do radiation on it.
Well, today or last night, he had a heart attack and arrested pretty badly. I don't know if it is a coincidence or not but I had a lot of bad dreams last night. They brought him back and he's in the ICU now. I don't know much more than that, other than my mom is going down there right now to visit if she can.
I was just at his daughter's wedding last weekend. He is (was?) such a cool guy. I hate losing family members. I really haven't until recently.
His son is in Iraq now. He's in the Air Force as a bomb specialist. His daughter ended up writing the White House months ago to see if they could delay his deployment until a few days after her wedding. He was initially scheduled to go back out to Iraq a week or so before her wedding. Needless to say, it was important for her to have her whole family there. I'm very grateful that they came through on her request.
That is all for now.
