I'm really feeling down right now. I haven't been on for a couple of days - depressed and busy. We spent the last two days going to Pickering Flea Market to get an MP3 player for the oldest grandson (12) and then taking it back the next day because it didn't work Anyway, he's happy now.
Today was my father's tenth bout of cancer surgery. He has bladder cancer and this has been going on for roughly 3 1/2 years. He's had surgery, chemo you name it - nothng seems to work! Anyway - operation number 10 was today. Everything went well - he was very upbeat and I ws teasing him telling him he was on the express line. I just wonder where it's going to end. I spent the day "Mother-sitting" because my mother, whom he cares for, can't be left alone, so have to be in two places at once every time he has to have an operation.
I've been quite quiet about this until the other day when Susie posted a thread about a friend that had just started this - too much for me. My father is 77 and very upbeat about the whole matter, my mother is 86, leagally blind (AMD) and has had several strokes and I keep worrying that this is going to be too much for her.
I guess I just need some really strong TCS vibes right now - for my parents whom I love very deeply and am very upset that they are failing - and for myself - I'm very depressed and upset right now and need some support from my friends. My best friend is in Rome right now and I reallly need some help.
