Dear Mega-Orb, they say it never rains but it pours…not one but TWO pieces of distressing news from friends & neighbors yesterday…asking for all the prayers, good vibes, (((((HUGGZ))))), boops, headbonks, =purrrrrrrrrrz=, yips, chirps, & other good stuffs you all can muster…
(1) My 20yo neighbor who had major surgery on Tuesday had to be rushed back to the hospital with a high fever & abdominal swelling yesterday afternoon. She needed 5 units of blood & is in the ICU on blockbuster antibiotics. Doctors suspect a possible nicked bowel, which would mean more surgery to find & fix the problem. Needless to say, her roommate is freaking out…
(2) Another neighbor, who’s been sick for quite a while but had refused to see a doctor about it, is in the hospital with tumors all through her body. She’s lost 80 lbs. & has an MRI scheduled for tomorrow to see if the cancer has spread to her brain. Her daughter is 19 & has just finished her freshman year at college….
All 4 of these women have been family-by-choice to PJ & me – for 10 years in the second case. I’m nowhere near ready for another loss, & neither are they. Mega-thanks to all for your support!
