The Results are in...

Well the results are in, the cancer started in the colon, worked its way out and around the colon and into the neighboring tissue. We still do not know the implications. She is weak; can’t stand up. They have her on oxygen, she’s not eating really. They say on Monday we can take her to the rehab center to gain her strength back… Someone is not saying something.

I watched an ad on TV tonight. I believe it was for Merck. They were asking children if they new what some words meant. Like Chicken pox, the little boy said he thinks it a place where chickens go and have fun. It goes on to say that the company’s goal is to make cancer a word of the past. What an ambitious goal that is.

For those who don’t know Aunty, she’s a very difficult lady. The stories I could tell! Right now I have to hand it to the nurses who have to deal with her. I am sure by the time she leaves the hospital Monday there are few nurses who are rethinking their vocation. She will be the yardstick by which patient meanness is measured by. She can be brutally mean, but I finally figured out why. It is always miscommunication. My best advice with dealing with a tough bird, take a step back, regroup, then revisit. Show nothing but respect
