If it makes you feel any better, my family has had a really crappy past four months.
The short version is two days before Thanksgiving we found out that my M.I.L. which lived with us had stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
(Pretty shitty of her Dr to tell us 2 days before Thanksgiving, like it couldn't wait a few days, right!!!)
Fast-forward one month of complete hell, cancer sucks.
My wife is an Angel, she took care of her Mother in ways that no one should ever have to do for a parent or loved one.
It only gets worse, on Christmas day my Mother fell and broke her femur and right wrist, like I said it gets worse.
Then the day after Christmas, we woke up early to go visit my Mother in the hospital after her surgery which included pins, and multiple screws in her femur and wrist. When we woke up, we found that my M.I.L. had passed away at home in bed the day after Christmas.
Which was really a Godsend that the F'd cancer took her as quickly as it did, because she was going through living hell with it.
Fast-forward a month later, my Mom spent a month in a rehab hospital recouping from her broken femur and wrist. Two days after she was released to go home, her and my Father both fell trying to get to Mom to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Dad hurt his knee but much worse off, my Mother broke her hip, on the opposite side of her broken femur, and she also broke her other wrist. ( so she now has a cast on both arms, F.M.L. back to the hospital and another month in a rehab hospital. Poor woman can't catch a break, and apparently either can we.
I apologize too everyone if I've been short or acting like a complete dick for a while, I hope you can all understand the stress my family has been enduring for the past few months, we have been through hell and back the past 4 months. Oh, yeah, and we all caught the Woo Tang, Chinese flu once again, happy, happy joy, joy!!!
All of that, and I had an aunt and cousin pass away during all of this crap, and my back has been completely F'd up with electric shocks shooting down both legs every step that I take. So I hate to say this, but I will, count your blessings, it could be much, much worse.
Once again, F.M.L in the eye socket!!!
