One crisis is over, another is just beginning (language and long)

[CrazedClerkthe2nd]

That's too bad, I'll be praying for you.

[RootedPhoenix]

Like BSE said, we're all pulling for him.

I've got him and you in my prayers. *hugs*

[Becks]

*hugs and prayers*

[Bella_Vixen]

*MANY hugs and prayers*

[Shpepper]

Oh Shit. I am so sorry. I hope that he starts getting better soon. Lots of prayers and healing thoughts for both of you.

[SengaKitty]

Hugs and many MANY prayers hon!

[Rapscallion]

I'm not religious, but you're both in my thoughts.

I'm not into praying but I'll think of you and hope for better news soon.

Thank you for all the support. It really means a lot.

So... I kind of just lost it today. I was at the hospital, The Dane was awake and alert, and we were talking, and all of a sudden, I just snapped and started screaming at him. Like, all out shouting: How can you be so calm, don't you dare tell me it'll be okay, god damn it stop fucking smirking you Nordic bastard.... I really lit into him. I said everything that had been on my mind these past few weeks, and then some.

I actually physically exhausted myself with all the yelling I did. When I was done, The Dane simply said, "Are you finished?" When I nodded, he said "Good. Glad you finally decided to say something. But I still lost that bet with your brother."

What, wha?

The Dane explained it all: apparently, I'm no good at hiding my distress from anyone, and The Dane and my brother made a bet as to when I would finally lose it. Apparently, The Dane lost the bet.

But god damn it, The Dane's not mad at me, and I want him to be! Why does he ruin everything?

[RootedPhoenix]

Oh !

This is why I love you people. *hugs* I hope he really does get better.

[XCashier]

A sense of humor is a good sign. Still praying for you both here.

I'll keep a candle lit, sweetie.

Sorry I haven't posted. We were in the process of moving to the new apartment and I was just way too beat.

Some odd things have happened. Apparently, the tumor has shrunk considerably(from the size of a small orange to the size of maybe two marbles). Good news, but the fact that it's shrunk means that it is most likely not the cause of the seizures. Dr. L told us it could be any number of things: misfiring nerves, the brain adjusting to the change in pressure, etc. They're not likely permanent, in any case, and the team is working to discover the root cause.

The Dane has been in and out of the hospital. The tumor has decreased at such a rate that the rest can be removed relatively safely via surgery, and he'll have that next week.

I've had to get a second job to deal with expenses, but it's a work-at-home thing, so I don't mind too much. If all goes well, the Dane will be headed back to work in about three months(and I can quit this second job), and back at school in about six or seven.

And I'm off to eat my Wegmans sub.

[Der Cute]

Wow!
That's GOOD news, I'd rather have 2 marbles than one huge ass orange!!

Yay!

Keep an eye on the seizures. Is he taking any anti-seizure drugs to stop them, or is Doc saying let it run the course?

Hugs to you both, and lots of chocolate covered cashews.
