f/u on MIL
It looks like H is coming back here (well, here meaning the US, but he's going to his mom's house in AZ, not mine in Denver) in a couple days. ?I'll probably spend this weekend, a 4 day weekend for me, with them, and I think he'll be there a couple weeks. ?We're still awaiting final approval from the Red Cross, but once that happens, he can pretty much be on a plane instantly. ?I flove the RC.
Is it wrong how wildly excited I am to see him, even under these circumstances? ?I don't think it's hit me how really bad this situation likely is. ?I talk to her every couple weeks, and I just saw her in Oct, so it's hard to grasp the reality that this is likely a terminal situation. ?H thinks that he'll be in the mood for wild crazy sex, but I have my doubts. ?It may hit him hard when he's there, and that's not conducive to sex. ?Snuggling, yes, kink, no.
There's a chance we'll all end up in Houston together, too, at some point since she's getting an intial treatment plan drawn up there. ?Zoe, you're in Houston, right? ?No promises, but if I'm there, I'm sure I'll be in need of drinks if you're available.
Thanks, everyone, for the kind wishes and suggestions. ?I think we're going to get her a laptop and try to get her hooked on WoW 
?That will occupy her, right??
Re: f/u on MIL
Schit, another f/u. H just called and is in the hospital. ?He had some chest pain issues months ago, and they kept him overnight to evaluate him. ?It was likely due to a drug they'd given him since that was a known complication of that drug. ?He's been off all those drugs ever since, but he still gets these pains. ?Apparently it was bad enough to send him to the clinic overnight again. ?
So, who knows what that means for him getting back here. ?I'm not worried about him. ?I'd love for them to figure out what the deal is (theories range from heart attack to acid reflux), but it's not something dire I don't think. ?I just would hate for them ot cancel his trip back to see his mom b/c of it. ?Grrrr. ?When it rains it pours, right? ?Well, right now it's snowing, so I had better be safe and not add to the bad luck when I drive down the mountain this afternoon
Is she going to M.D. Anderson? Every person with cancer that my parents know has gone there because it's so good.
Thanks for the update. Enjoy your time with your H, even if it isn't under ideal circumstances. I'm glad he can come to be with his mom.
I am so sorry to hear about your MIL. I f*cking hate cancer. Here's to her good health. And to your DH too.
Good thoughts all around.
I am thinking of you! And sending you positive thoughts.
I hope you get to see your DH soon.
What's the latest Sibil? I'm sorry to hear about your MIL...and now your husband.
