I suppose its my turn for some tragedy.

My grandma was just diagnosed with colon cancer. I was never close to her, but i've known her all my life. She's lived with us for a few years, and recently moved home to W. Virginia. She's 80, and has emphysema, so the cancer is inoperable. I'm in one of the humanity modes where I just want to sit and ponder. Life is short.

That sucks. Just make sure to get enough time outside your head. It's crucial.

Just thought I'd step in and say, sorry for your bad news.
However, on the other hand 80+ is a pretty good run, eh?

Best wishes to both.

I'm sorry about your grandma Posher! Can you visit her? If you can, maybe you should. She'd probably really enjoy that. Cancer sucks. I watched my mom die of Pancreatic cancer. Fortunately for her sake it only took 6 weeks, sucked for us though. But they had her on really good drugs, so at least she was relatively comfortable through it. At the end, they'll probably keep her so drugged that she won't even be able to talk to you, although she'll stil know you're there (I believe). So visit her before it gets to that point if you can. Tell her you love her, you'll have no regrets about that if you do.

Take care man. You know how to contact me if you want and please feel free to do so if ya wanna talk about it.
