- Try this on for size, angsters:
-
- My husband just found out he has lung cancer. His mother just had a breast
- and some lymph nodes removed. I have MS, and so does my mom, so I get to
- see just what shape I will be in in 25 or so years. My dad has lost 95%
- of his vision due to some weird inflammatory retinal process. My best
- friend's husband moved out, about 2 years after she bore him a daughter
- with Down's syndrome. My sister's husband discovered his back pain was
- due to a spina bifida-like vertebral defect (inoperable, of course).
- My stepdaughter's recent Pap smear contains some very odd-looking cells.
- (Her grandfather is dying of heart disease.) I'll skip the usual
- angstogens, y'all can fill in the blanks.
-
- Most of this happened in the last month or two.
-
- If I read one more post about cheering up, my head will truly explode.
