Bad News

[chochiyo_sama]

DeAnn and I went to see The Island.  It was a good action flick--very very filled with illogical things--but exciting to watch.

Afterwards, we ate at Perkins.  My fish was raw.  Yuck.  It was gooey and translucent in the middle--and cold.  The baked potato was good. 

After that, we went to the Evil Empire of Walmart.  I bought two three drawer plastic organizers--big ones--to get my stuff in order.  You can't put stuff away if there is no place ot PUT it.  Sigh.

I bought a few groceries...not many as I want to save money and also to use up some of the stuff I have on hand. 

When I got home, I had a message from Ingrid (of course).  I didn't call her back because I also had a message from my mom.  Lee, my cousin, had an emergency triple by-pass today.  His heart was 100% blocked.  They doctors did not want to do the surgery because his blood pressure was so low.  Then, apparently it was too dangerous a situation NOT to, so they operated.  When Patty, his wife, came up, thinking they had just been running tests and that she would be taking him back home with her, the doctors pulled her aside and told her that they didn't expect him to make it. 

By the time the news came down to my family, he had improved to the "maybe" place--but "maybe" he'll have brain damage as well.  Sigh.

Lee is a good person.  He's only 45 years old.  His oldest daughter is about 17; his youngest is about 13.  There are two others in the middle.  He's smoked for many years.  But still....sigh

I don't want my cousin to die.

Peter was on-line when I fired up my computer.  We played one game of scrabble.  I whipped his behind by sixty points.  heh heh

He is sweet and was very kind to me when I dumped all my sadness and fear about my cousin onto him.
