Damn, Man – Need Some Good Karma
What a night. Got some stuff done but most of it spent being lazy. Got another spider bite, this one on my elbow which then swelled up & itched. I HATE spiders. I’m going to have to get the house fumigated I guess.
Angel’s funeral is Saturday. Her official cause of death is cardiac arrest (heart attack). It was caused by an infection in her stomach that she ignored – it then metastasized to her heart. How awful and such a needless death.
I also found out tonight that another one of my ex-coworker’s has been diagnosed with colon cancer. When I was still there, she went through months of chemo to beat cancer and we all celebrated big time when it went into remission. She is another very sweet lady who tries to find the good in everything.
I don’t know what is going on down there. Another of my friends at SSO, found out a few months ago that her mother was dying of cancer. It has been a very hard time for them both as they are very close.
I know SSO is a huge place but even so, the health issues there seem to skewed on the “odds” table. Way too many issues for the 130 employees they have.
Once again it has helped me recommit myself to getting healthy – I don’t want to spend my years here on Earth being sickly.
LATER: Oh no, I just found out one of my other very good friends down there has cancer as well. I am sickened. Ashamedly, I admit, I was a little relieved that it wasn’t her earlier, but now my hopes are dashed because she is also sick. I pray everything goes well with her – they are doing surgery on Monday. She was devastated last year when she lost her mother (also a friend of mine) very suddenly – this has been such a difficult year for her.
Suddenly I feel like I need to jump on an airplane now to be there for her on Monday. I can’t – unfortunately – because of money and nowhere to stay once I got down there – but I would if I could. She is another angel that is very special to me.
