Positive juju por favor

[bimbi284]

I'm super distracted today and trying to get work done but can't.

We found out this week that my SIL's twin sister's FI has stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma. He has 6 months of chemo to look forward to, and apparently with what he's got going on, doctors have said he's got about 5 years left if treatment is successful. They are in the midst of planning a wedding as well, so everything is just confusing right now.

I found out today that my grand father is not doing well. My parents failed to mention to me that he had been sick and in the hospital over the holidays with bronchitis. I last saw him in May, and although I could tell there was cognitive decline (he's old) he was still his chatty, positive self. I guess now he can't hear or talk, and the nursing home where he lives is shutting down, so he will need to be moved in a couple of weeks. The death of my grandma last year was very tough on him, but the rapid decline is so scary. The doctors seem to think he may have experienced some mild stroke as well. This man is the reason I am a psychologist today. Losing my grandma was hard, but losing him ... I can't even imagine.

I know we're supposed to be putting more positive stuff here, but I needed to put this out there. Sorry for the downer.
