(OT) My mom's in the hospital

[Mistwell]

You have my prayers.

For what it is worth, I know several people who went through this exact procedure, and even a bypass, and they are doing fine. Heck, even the Vice President of the US has gone through extensive work, and he is still kicking strong! So have faith. If they catch these things BEFORE the heart attack like they have here, I believe they can usually patch you up pretty good.

I hope your mother gets well soon, Doc, and all the best with your job too!

My grandfather lived through four heartattacks before a 5th killed him. But that's what happens when you eat everything you're not supposed to.


Anyway you wanted a joke:

A guy walked into a bar and said ow.

A priest, a rabbi and a texan walk into a bar.
No really they did.

I hope she recovers quickly and fully.

To help bring a smile, try this:
---------------------------
This guy was on the side of the road hitch hiking on a very dark night and in the middle of a storm. The night was rolling and no car went by, the storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly he saw a car coming towards him and stop. The guy without thinking about it got in the car closes the door just to realize there's nobody behind the wheel. The car starts slowly, the guy looks at the road and sees a curve coming his way, scared he starts to pray begging for his life. He hasn't come out of shock, when just before he hits the curve, a hand appears through the window and moves the wheel. The guy, paralyzed in terror, watched how the hand appears every time they are before a curve. The guy gathering strength gets out of the car and runs to the nearest town. Wet and in shock goes to a cantina and asks for two shots of tequila, and starts telling everybody about the religious experience he went through. A silence enveloped everybody when they realize the guy was crying and wasn't drunk.

About half an hour later two guys walked in the same cantina and one said to the other. "Look Pepe, that's the &%*$# that got in the car when we were pushing it."

First of all, Dr. Midnight, despite what you might like to think, you're not a stranger. Yes, we have not met, but I know a lot about you just from reading your posts.

What you need to do is look for the positives in this situation. Your mom is going to be recovering for a while after her operation, so this would be the perfect time to start her roleplaying (assuming she doesn't already).

Just try not to kill her character on the first adventure.

And none of your patented scary stuff either.

(my fingers are crossed for you, dude)

Hey Doc,

I do know you personally, and I want you to know your Mom and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. (Yeah, even Shagbag The Crazy prays from time to time!)

I know how scary stuff like this can be. A few years ago my mom told us that her doctor thought she may have breast cancer. She tried to hide this from us, because she didn't want to scare us or upset us, but I knew my mom too well. I could tell something was up. Thankfully, her screening turned up a cyst and not a lump, so she is fine.

But I know what you mean about the mortality thing. Xaltar's dad has been having a tough time, too. They have him on some experimental drugs because his lungs aren't always performing properly. The fear is that he may have to go on oxygen, and may even be in a wheelchair by the end of this year. It's frightening stuff, but know that we're here and will do all the crazy stuff you need us to do to make you laugh.

Think Charlotte's Web and "Chin Up." (Or at least do the Templeton impersonation and make us all smile!!)

*does a soft shoe*

Not funny enough, eh?.....


Best wishes to your mom. I'm glad she's getting treatment now, instead of for a heart attack.

 

[The Dungeon Master]

I'm keeping your Mom in my prayers and please keep us updated on her condition. Its never easy when a family member has health problems.

Keep you chin up Doc, everything will be just fine!

 

[Darkness]

May the treatment proceed well and your mother get better soon, Tom!

 

[Henry]

Doc, here's hoping the best for you, and a sincere prayer for your mother's full recovery.

Good luck on the job interview. Just wear one of your Cafe Press T-shirts, and a power tie, and I'm sure all will go well.
