Deep Breath

Today, I got a call from The Chick. Seems her Soon to be Ex-Husband decided she didn't need a car anymore and demanded the car back even though he doesn't pay the loan or the insurance. The only thing he has going for him is his name's on the ownership.

Anyway, He wanted it back so I needed to follow The Chick to her Ex's place and drop the car off. I, then, took her to a doctor's appointment.

We arrived back at her place and we're laying on the bed just sorta talking when the phone rang. It was her Ex. It seems her Ex's Mother had dropped by his place and seen the car. She asked a few questions then promptly told him he was an ass and that he better return the car or he'd be a fucking taxi service. Oh, Did I mention today was his birthday? LOL.

While I was waiting for The Chick to get back with her car. (The Ex came and picked her up to go get her car.) I remembered that while I'm emptying out my old fridge (I got a refurbished one to replace the wonky one.) I had left some stuff I thought Flash might get into and I needed to go home NOW and throw that into the outside garbage. When The Chick arrived back, I ran away.

I was home no more than 3 minutes when the phone rang. I was unable to get the phone because I had picked that exact moment to use the facilities. I thought it was probably The Chick calling to see if I was going to come back and watch her TV shows with her. [She's all about Thursday Night Television.] So, I picked up the phone and *69 the call. The number that came up wasn't The Chick's. It was my parents.

Taking a Deep Breath. I dialed the parents and got my Mom.

She'd been in for her Lung Test and it would seem she has Lung Disease. She'll have to go in for further test to see if it's spread to her Lymphnodes.

I told her to do me a favour and not worry like she does. We'd get through this. Take things a step at a time and a day at a time. The conversation wasn't that long. Not Surprisingly, She was upset and excused herself.

My mom is only 62. She'll be 63 in August. She said they want to remove her one lung if hasn't spread to her Lymphnodes and her body can handle it.

I can't imagine how my parents are handling this. They're both going down tough roads at the moment. I feel for my sister's who are very emotional type people and love my parents deeply. Not that I don't love my parents but I'm a bit more matter of fact, I get it from my dad.

So, don't worry about me. I'll be alright. Reminders that my problems are just minor in the face of real problems.
