Mum Update
Apr. 15th, 2012 02:31 pmThere's been too much going on, my life is quite chaotic, more than usual.
But, I talked to my sister for a few minutes today, about Mum.
Apparently Mum has a bunch of painful sores on her face that are skin cancer, and the skin doctor recommends a cream to help them heal and hopefully clear up in about 4-6 weeks. He does not recommend any other treatments (chemo or radiation are not appropriate) and taking them off is too invasive for Mum at this point. Leslie (my sister) says that Mum would just take off the bandages and pick at them. (Yuck.) But the cream is supposed to help.
Alzheimer's really sucks. So does cancer, of any sort.
On other points, NEFFA is next weekend. There are still a few snags I have to deal with regarding the dance performances, but I managed to fill the hole left in the middle of the Saturday evening slot, and now only have to chase down the Irish groups who are not communicating. *sigh*
And, my two NORC projects are going well.
Other than that, I need hugs. And some sanity.
