So it looks like things are going to get better with my mom's side of the family. She spent the last week in Vegas, trying to help out with her mom. And in the process, try to rebuild some kind of relationship with them.
My mother, being a nurse, has done a lot of work with cardiac patients in ICU. Her mom has many health problems, but the primary issue is her heart. For a couple of months my grandmother has been having "spells" where she passes out. The doctors could not figure out what it was which is why she spent so much time in the hospital. I could not believe it when I found out that NOONE told her cardiologist that these "spells" consist of loss of conciousness and breathing. SOOOOOOO my mom met with this doctor and "ta da" my grandmother has a brand new implant. Grandma is far from healthy, but she is going to be going home soon. Thank goodness!
So the deal with the broken relationships....After a very rough therapy session a few years ago, my mom got drunk and decided to write a letter to her parents. Apparently, the therapist told her to write a letter that says all of the things that you always were afraid to say, or never got to say. Being shit-faced, she sent it in an email to her parents. Nuff said there? So my aunt had the opportunity to confront my mom and got some things off of her chest. It was pretty hard for my mom to take and she told me that making this trip was the hardest thing she has ever had to do. But mom is home and feels good about the possibility of having a family again.

I am doing ok, I guess. My nephew turns 2 on Sunday and I am helping plan the big ghetto event. I wonder if thats the reason I have been stressing. I feel a flare up coming on. The good thing is, I will have another Remicade infusion in 3 weeks. And I have plenty of drugs and "stuff" to get me through it.
I am going to another concert next weekend, so I have that to look forward to. I am so happy to be going out and doing things again.
That freak-nasty thing is gone from my chest, so I look oh-so HOT again. Boobs all hanging out. Nah, not really.
I'd better stop now before this entry just starts getting stupid.
Are all Taco Bell employees on DOPE, or is it just the Taco Bell I go to?
