this and that

I just got the news that my Uncle has cancer.

I cant remember how much about my Grandpa Ive posted on here, since its been a while, but I’ll do a short rundown with the new bad news.

My grandpa was having really bad stomach pains last year around spring. He went to the doctor and they couldnt figure out what was wrong. He then came to my stepdad to see him and they thought it was his gallbladder. He then had it removed in December. The stomach pains went away for a little while but then came back. He tolerated it and then in June went back to a specialist and found out it was Pancreatic cancer. They did scans to see if they could remove it, but found it was growing also around his mesenteric artery (large artery in the abdomen). My grandpa decided not to get treatment. They gave him 6 months to live.

December was six months, and he’s been doing really badly. I saw him this summer, and he was just slightly skinnier, and pretty weak. I saw him at christmas, and if I didnt know it was him, I might not have recognized him. It was awful. He looked like a rack of bones and could hardly walk. Every day he is getting worse. I guess it wont be long now, as he is unable to walk at all and just lays there with his mouth open and cant completely shut his eyes or hardly talk. Today though, he told my mom that he wanted today to be the day he dies. This is one of the first times I wished someone close to me could just go. He is so tired and miserable. He is also very upset because two people in my family had babies today and he knows he wont live to see them. He talked with my mother about how there are now new lives and he can go. Apparently a week ago he was saved, as well. He was always a good man, but he didnt know how to be saved, he said. He will be missed, but I just dont want him to be in pain anymore.

My grandpa is on the way to our hospital here where I live (Im in ohio, btw). I guess he is very sick and has been pretty sick since last Wednesday. Dr. Roddy (my stepfather) is going to look at him, and if he is too sick, he will have to stay in the hospital. I am really worried. He’s 85, which is pretty old, and thats bad for getting sick. I am really really worried. I really dont know what I’d do if something happened to him.

If anybody who reads this prays, please keep my grandpa in your prayers please.

I found out that my cousin Millner in WV got caught on more than one occasion peeping in the window looking at my GREAT AUNT Helen changing clothes. She is like 70.

I have a little cousin who is 6 named Alisha. She has some sort of syndrome that she was born with, but they cant figure out what or why. She has a good bit off slightly off bodily characteristics, such as really long funnily shaped legs, she coughs a lot and has breathing treatments, she has strangely shaped feet that she is supposed to wear special shoes to help correct, her thumbs look more like fingers sticking out of the side of her hand, and she has a bit of an odd look to her face, to name a few. She also cannot talk. She understands when you tell her most things and you can tell she can think things through, even if she cant talk. We have gotten her to sort of say a few words, such as Papaw and my cousin’s name, Amber, and Sasha, one of my aunt’s dogs. She gets frustrated often because she cant make us understand what she wants and my other little cousins can by talking.

Anyways, my mother called me and told me that the doctor decided now that she is older that they have to do something so she can communicate. I guess what she has to do is use a special sort of computer and go to school to learn how to spell words on it so we can read what she wants us to know, so that is neat. She has been going to a school to learn some sign language and we all sign some things with her like the words please and thank you and other stuff like milk and foods to ask if she wants them, etc. So that is the ok part.
Then, my Aunt Cindy decided to take her to the doctor again because she had been having bowel movements in her pants all the time. Apparently she hadnt even been trying to go to the toilet, even though she is potty trained. She’d just been going wherever. My aunt thought it was a behavioral problem, as it usually is in kids her age so when she told the doctor about it, they decided that it probably wasnt due to a behavioral problem because she really didnt have any other symptoms or anything and decided to check out her gastrointestinal system. When they did xrays, she has such bad blockage that they think some of its been there for years. I guess when she’d have bowel movements it was all soft because your body often does that to get around blockages, but my Aunt just thought she was not having a problem with constipation and getting plenty of fiber. So now they have given her some stuff she has to take to try to clear the blockage. Apparently if it doesnt work then they will have to try other things. The problem is bad though because the doctor thinks that because of the blockage, its caused damage and Alisha doesnt even know when she needs to have a bowel movement, she doesnt feel any urge or anything. That is bad. My mom told me that after they clear the blockage that they will work with her to try to “retrain” her bowels but that she doesnt know what will happen if she has permanently lost feeling to know when she has to poop. I think she’ll either have to wear a diaper or have a colostomy done or something, both of which suck and are sad, especially since she is a kid.

tis my dad and my biological brother richie, btw.

my mom just called and told me that my uncle died.

 he was teh awesome

even though youre my brother and dont even know i have a website. i’d feel bad if i didnt

I also have a cousin named Rodney. He has this skank girlfriend or wife. Dont care. Anyways they had this kid. So then she is all "well it aint yers" after he’d been taking care of it for a while. So then it turns out that this kid that he’s been raising as his own’s father is another cousin of mine. Plus this woman has like another kid by an even different cousin of mine down from the holler and another that is Rodneys. I think she also has a few other kids other than that but they got taken away from her lolololol

Ok for those of you know dont know me, you probably dont know that one of my first cousins who is my age that I was always close to is pregnant and having a baby in may. I dont think I posted it about that at least. Anyways, my mom calls me today and she’s like "guess who is having a baby?" and I was like oh no more west virginia relatives are breeding to myself of course and apparently like my only cousin who has gone to college and got her masters and actually is a responsible person is having a kid now too. Like, she’s the last person I would guess would get pregnant before marriage. She is only like 23 or 24.  Apparently her and her boyfriend are getting married in July so I may or may not get to go depending on the summer plans I have yet to make. Dr. Roddy wont even go to her wedding because its improper to get pregnant before marriage. Isnt that like the saddest thing you’ve ever heard about a person who calls themselves a christian? It made me mad. He is a fag. I can say that because he’s pretty much internet illiterate I think and cant find this. Anyways she is a good person so at least she’ll make an ok mom. Not sure about my other cousin…she’s failed a drug test since she’s been pregnant. Stupid. I went to her baby shower when I went home for easter though. It went ok. I was helpful.

ps you know that feeling when you have a great big project due but you are totally stressed out and tired and feel like doing other things but its due the next day so you have to? I have this feeling.
