okay everyone i thought I should let my rp buddies know what's really going on around here so i'm tagging those i'm threading with. it's under a cut though, if you don't want to know
so next month I have a consultation for a rhuematologist.
a $400 appointment, because the specialist is private.
I have to borrow that money off my parents, and I don't even know what the rest of the cost will be.
my dad is...God knows where, and my mother is working pretty much to support her partner
and i'm now going to get to that
my mum's partner's daughter Georgia (effectively, my step sister) was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer between Christmas and New Years. she had surgery the other day, more or less exploratory.
they found more cancer in her pelvic cavity.
the prognosis is...not good. not anywhere close to good. she has to do radiotherapy for the next near-month, but they really just don't know what they're doing with this cancer. we've more or less been told not to hold too much hope.
Georgia is my age. She's either a few months older or younger, but she's only 19. I don't know her, really - I've only met her once, since I live so far away from my mum. I have to try and get up to visit soon, but I haven't got time, and my own health is getting worse. I have a terrible habit of shoving my own health aside for the sake of other people, thinking that I'm not really sick enough to get help, even though I'm getting worse by the day.
on top of being sick lately, I haven't been much of a good rper all round. I'm therefore taking a short, official break. I need to rest my hands, chill out,get my other blog up and running, and watch some Doctor Who.
Today being the morning of Wednesday, June the nineteenth, I will be breaking until Saturday, the twenty-second. If I feel up to it, I might be able to post here and there.
//Shhh, Nonnie, shhh I'll reply to you in the morning *pets nonnie* I have all three of your messages. Shhh.
I am unhappy with the lack of time I had to do these replies :l Sorry for ones I've missed, and I know I lost some somewhere along the line. Hazel I've got you down, I'll look for yours in the morning, and Maisie I don't remember if I had a chance to reply to you, do I owe Sonic? Anyway, I gotta go
Doctor, a while back I asked something anonymously because at the time I was to embarrassed to put my name to my post. You probably don't remember it, but I was the one who was down because I missed my mom. Anyway, the reason I am writing this time is to thank you for your advice and to ask for a small hug? After you said that stuff, about a hobby, I realized, that's what I have been doing and when I can escape for that short period of time when sad, it makes all the difference. Thank you!!!!!!!
Ohh, I'm so glad to hear that!!! Really! And of course I remember you! I remember everyone! **Hugs** Keep staying strong, yeah? You're brilliant! Don't ever forget it!
