School Thoughts

Sitting here on campus, thinking, studying, waiting, I find myself wishing oddly for something specific.

I want an Acer.

Not just because it would make schoolwork so much more convenient, but because I find myself with the most free time these days while away from home.

It isn't that I'm bored or have nothing to do as it is, but more that when I feel the need to write, be it fanfics or school or work, I'd like the option without having to walk all over campus to do so.

This musing is brought to you by my seriously considering writing a story on my phone via Google Docs rather than even consider trudging across campus in this heat to use a school computer.

Didn't Intend This Blog to be Depressing...

But that seems to be what's happened here, since it seems to be that I spend the most time out of the house during emergencies.

Have I mentioned that I hate hospitals? Let me explain part of the reason why.

Back in November, my fiancé's father was diagnosed with pancreatitus. To make a long story short, it wasn't pancreatitus. And the ulcer that they found two months later wasn't just an ulcer.

The man has stage 4 liver cancer. It's spread to his lymph nodes. It's blocking his bile ducts. He's jaundiced, and because it took them so very long to catch it, because they kept pawning it off on him being addicted to pain meds, or that his ulcer was from ibuprophen abuse, now he's dying.

If they'd caught it earlier, we might have been able to do something about it naturopathically. But now it's too late for even that. They can't do chemotherapy or radiation for various reasons, and he can't stop throwing up long enough for them to even get a CT Scan.

Tomorrow, they're supposed to do a liver puncture to drain his blocked bile ducts. If, that is, they can "find" an anesthesiologist, since it's memorial day weekend.

So, yeah. I hate hospitals. Maybe now you have an insight into why.
