One of my aunts is in emergency surgery tonight. She became ill very recently and was hospitalized. The docs now think she has tumors along her spine and possibly into the skull area. It's not certain she will survive surgery tonight. |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

Thank you to everyone. Her name is Barb. Today she had a two-hour MRI, and that's when they found the tumors. She's been in the intensive care unit. Her pain has been outrageous and required much morphine to manage. It's been rough for her. Uncle Dick, my dad's brother, won't do well if she doesn't make it. Some guys are like that, and he's one of them. Gruff on the exterior and a creampuff inside. He will absolutely be lost without his woman. |

She got out of surgery at 3:00 am our time. They removed tumors from the front of the spine, stopping surgery for a period when she became unstable, then completing as much as they could. There was one tumor very high on the front of her spine that they could not remove. She will be completely sedated for the next 48 hours. If she makes it through that time, the word is that she still won't be out of the woods, but she'll at least be "at the edge of the woods." Then in a week, if she is able, she will have another 8 hours of surgery to remove tumors from the back of her spine. She will continue to be in intensive care for some time. Please continue to pray for her and for Uncle Dick. Thank you so much for your support. |

Add me to the list of those praying for your aunt. Unfortunately, this sounds pretty grim, as you no doubt know. Let's hope for the best. |

You are right, George. It is grim. And it will continue to be so for some time, even if it all is successful. This is one of my dad's younger brothers and his wife. They're both about 60, own a small business, are still bikers (motorcycles), and have a married son and three grandkids, one an infant. |

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate you prayers and support. I just shared this in an email with someone and thought it appropriate for here, too. Thank you for praying for my Aunt Barb and Uncle Dick. These next few days and weeks are going to be pretty rough. We are a small family, so it's a close group. Maybe some people would say, "but she's your AUNT, not your mother!" True enough, but I love her and my uncle very much. My uncle can be pretty cranky and my aunt just teases him and puts him in his place. She has even told him, "You better believe we're going to the party at Brenda's house, and you're going, too, because she's one of the few relatives who loves you!" Maybe that gives you some idea of why this hits close for me. P.S. Uncle Dick is not a party kind of guy, but he comes with Aunt Barb to mine and he has a good time. He even rides over to our place on his cycle just to see us and get out on a nice day. He's cranky and I don't care. I see more than that in him. There's a temptation now to make comparisons with some of the members here, but I'll refrain. |
