Where has Bluewing7 been?
-
I haven't.

He was on FW 8 days ago.

From MF on FW:
#7 is fine, lots of stuff going on at The Homestead. He hasn't heard from Sluggish, but thinks he's far enough away from the shit. So, all in all a good report. Pray for #7's Mother In Law though, she's sick... he'll be on eventually to get everyone up to speed.

Thank you for the update. I feel very badly for his wife. She just lost her sister. I hope everything we'll get better for all of them.
Hey all, thanks for thinking about us.
Yeah, Cort's mom more than likely has advanced lymphoma. Cort took her to the ER 2 weeks ago because she thought she was having a heart attack. Turns out it was a 2"x2" mass on her lung and pneumonia. We've been running her all over the state getting test run and are basically waiting on results. But I don't think there's much doubt on what it is, just how far it's progressed. Cort hasn't gotten over her sister's passing in December and she lost her grandmother about a year before that. If things go south with her mom it's going to devastate her.
Took Cort up to Drummond Island for the weekend to get her mind off of everything for a bit. She had a great time but it was strange how many people we talked to on the island and family members with cancer came up from them in the conversation. Without having a clue about Cort's mom. Strange how the universe works.

Sorry to hear this. Cancer sucks. If you live long enough, you'll get it. Ever notice how the general consensus tries to turn it around on the victim? They ALWAYS try to blame it on something the sufferer did.. YOU ate the wrong foods.. YOU lived the wrong lifestyle. YOU did THIS. YOU did THAT... The fact of the matter is that cancer is a motherfucker and it doesn't care how you lived your life; you live long enough and that fucker will get you.
Our thoughts are with you.

Yep, always. The other thing is our healthcare system sucks balls. If you or someone else isn't being an annoying asshole to them, nothing moves quickly.
She was in the hospital for 3 days in which she progressively got worse. They have her pain meds (ofcourse) and told her they couldn't do anymore until she had a CT scan. They said they sent her referral to the place that does that. After 3 calls and messages over about 6 hours Cort finally talked with someone there. "We're booked out for 3 months and haven't received the referral." Cort called 3 different places explaining the situation. Finally one nurse said she can't wait 3 months, get her here in 5 days. They called the hospital and requested all records. 1 day before the visit, still no records. Cort calls the hospital and they tell her they are closing in 15 minutes but they'll fax over the records. Call the office day of appointment, no records. Cort had to drive to the hospital and pic them up. Needless to say Cort didn't make any friends at the hospital but she got the job done. Shit is fucking exhausting.

Cancer has killed everyone I have ever loved.
If we live long enough we're candidates.
I'm so sorry to read this. That said death is a transition and no need to fear it.
