I'm still alive

[pride_of_erin]

Okay, I've decided that I really need to be more active around here, not least because I need to do something to get me out of my funk. So I'm making it a personal challenge to see if a I can post here at least once a day for a minimum of one week (hopefully more). Whether it's just a one-sentence post, random crap, or a funny picture, I need to do something. I'm feeling even more disconnected than usual.

So here goes...

Not to be a downer, but can I get some prayers/good thoughts for my Dad? He's having biopsy surgery tomorrow to test for prostate cancer, which would be bad enough anyway, but the poor man loathes hospitals thanks to a childhood spent going in and out of them, so he's really upset over it. Christ, I hope he doesn't have cancer. On top of the numerous health problems he's had all his life, he only just recently got diagnosed with polymyalgia. So if the universe decides to heap prostate cancer on him as well, that'll just be beyond fucked. Goddammit, he's only 68 - he should have at least a good twenty years left in him, and I am not ready to lose my Dad just yet thank you very much.

Good to hear from you, sorry to hear about your dad's health problems. But remember, even if it is prostate cancer, they've made huge improvements there. J's dad had it, and they injected radiation pellets, and he's fine now. I'll be thinking good thoughts. *hugs*

Thanks so much, hon. Well, he got through the biopsy okay, now it's just time to play the waiting game (shittiest game ever!) 'til we get the results.

And I'm sending positive, healthful vibes to your dad.

Thank you, sweetie. Dad got through the biopsy with a minimum of trauma, now we just have to wait for the damn results. *fingers crossed*
