I've been absent due to some rather major family issues. Niece of mine isn't doing very well and is having a feeding tube and colostomy bag installed via surgeries. I am helping out there etc. Will hopefully know something more stable by tomorrow after the first surgery. Not a cool time for the family I fear. Will keep you posted accordingly.

Re: FYI
Thanks for the kind words and regards. I'll extend them to my niece and sister. It's beyond rough for everyone involved but we try to help alleviate the chaos as best one can. I don't have much else to say about the matter since it's all still pretty much up in the air about wtf is going on next. Something I loathe.

Re: FYI
Feeding tube surgery completed. Poor girl is so weak-looking. My heart is all fkd up. Colostomy bag surgery is next on their agenda, but only done when she's able to undergo it. We're all at a loss.
For those ignorant of the situation. I have two twinned nieces (Emily and Shelby) who were born borderline terminal premature 19 years ago. Both have had to deal with cranial shunts and varying degrees of cerebral palsy. Emily is the worse of the two, her brilliant loving mind trapped in a broken body. She has been beyond angelic in her time here on earth and the doctors' prognosis only infuriates me as a human being.
I don't want anybody's pity or ah that's so sad comments, but could use a smelly man hug or two as this crap is torturing us. I helped raise those kids over the years and this simply sucks...to put it VERY lightly. I'm a big guy who can crush a man's body with little effort but damned if I don't feel like some kind of pathetic wuss when it comes to dealing with this all.
I'm trying to be strong for the lil lady but family has an odd way of coping with it all and they turn on one another at times and I'm stuck playing middleman for the anguished parties if that makes any sense. It's been a ridiculous roller-coaster of emotions and I just want it to stop!
Sorry for venting, but wanted to let you know what's going on. I'm doing what I can when I can and do enjoy having this site as a brain-drain venting device, but if you see me poof for a spell or two just know why. I'm busy slaying real life dragons!
Much luv dorks...

Re: FYI
Just remember you can't fix everything. You do what you can to help and that's all that you can do. And sometimes the best thing you can do is to take some time for yourself--if you're not taking care of yourself, you can't take care of others.
Or anyway, that's what I've found to be the case in my experience.
