  • Prayers, good thoughts, etc. please.

    I just got off the phone with my mom (called her about something else). She told me that my paternal grandmother isn't doing well. She has cancer. They think it originated in her colon but its since metastasized to her liver and her hip. The doctors said she has a year without chemo or 2 years with chemo. I haven't seen her in a few years and I'm not gonna be able to get time off until February cause I work retail.
    When my mom's mom died in 2006 (?) I hadn't seen her for a while (despite being the one we'd see on spring break every year while in school).
    I'm just so scared I'm not gonna be able to say good bye.

    Aw, ((((DW)))). Do you have any vacation hours accrued?

      Nope. I just took my vacation. I had to take it before November 1 or I'd lose it. That's why I said it maybe February, there's a black out of days from November 1 till around February 29 because of the holidays.

              If you need me, I'm here. If I'm not on chat, you have me on skype if you need to talk. For that matter, my cell # is on my FB page in my contact info.

                @Raps: idk but I asked my store manager and if Grandma's health declines rapidly she's willing to find some way to get me a couple days off to go see her.
                @Kara: thanks. I know where to find you if I need to talk. I appreciate it.

                      Update:
                      I talked to my dad today and my grandmother has chosen not to undergo chemo. I really hope I can make a trip to see her soon.

                              I'm sorry. In her situation I would probably have chosen quality of life over the second year too.
