Haven't had an opportunity to post up due to a family medical situation. My Grandfather had been acting a little unlike himself for the past few weeks and, long story short, they discovered a tumor on both his brain and his lung last Saturday.
Flash forward to this morning and the operation yesterday on the brain tumor went as best as possible. They removed everything they could via surgery and Grandpa got through just fine. I stayed until they brought him back to the ICU and he was really tired but okay.
The CT they did this morning showed no clotting and it seems everything was a complete success! He could be home as early as tomorrow afternoon. He'll start radiation treatments for the little pieces that could not be removed via surgery in 10 days and somewhere in that time frame they will also determine what to do about the tumor on his lung.
A (hopefully) long road ahead, but at least we got through one major issue okay. Today, I don't foresee myself blogging for a while...but that could change. Right now, music, pop culture and goofing around are kind of low on the list of priorities. Versus turning this blog way too emo, i'll just take a break until i'm ready to serve up the useless crap you look forward to on a not-quite-daily basis.
In the meantime, i'll offer one parting shot for ROCKTOBER and ask that you go give somebody you love a hug...life is too short and you cannot take it for granted.

Whoa. This song came up on my iPod last weekend and we were all talking about the video. I'm glad your grandfather is doing well - I'll be thinking of you guys.
