Big News Days Tend to Suck

Feel good get better programs typically have 12 steps. Drugs. Alcohol. Food. Sex. All have the much touted 12 step program to make you all better and happy. Or they go on forever and ever. And lets face it, they fail far more than they work.

Seems that the bad crap in life doesn't need 12 steps. Nope. The Big-C for example it has zero steps. It has what's called stages. And there are only four of those. Damn that's efficient. And it has a far better successful completion rate than the feelgood bullshit. Of course that's not so good for those who get on that particular program.

My mom has arthritis of the spine, has gone into congestive heart failure many times, needed a pacemaker put in do to an irregular and often failing heartbeat. Still she endures the pain and struggles to improve. She's even planning an operation to help with her back. Well she was.

Seems that God isn't through fucking with her just yet. Cause she's at step 2, sorry mean second stage of the big-C. So that's gonna take precidence. Will probably be in for surgery within a month or so to get it taken care of. That was the phonecall that greeted me yesterday when I came home.

Like I said, Big News days tend to suck. Its never we won the lotto. Its name the lethal illness of the week. But we will wait, hope, spend some time with her, and if all goes well then she can drop off the big-C's stepladder before she hits number 4. Cause then your just waiting for the going through the pockets stage. And that does suck.

So, that's what's up with me for today. Later.
