So today my mate had surgery to remove a small part of his lung where he had a tumor they thought could be cancerous. The biopsy came back as showing it was indeed cancer... so they took a much larger section of his lung and some lymph nodes out, and the doctor seems very positive about it because we caught it very early... so we might not be far off from eradicating it all together.

Even still, quite scary to receive a diagnosis of The Big C. My mate is in pretty good spirits about it, and I'm calming down myself. I wasn't able to see him after the surgery because parking closed at 4:30 and he didn't get a room until 6:00. Not sure if he'll be able to come home tomorrow, but at least in the next 2 or 3 days. Feels very strange being alone in the house when we've been together pretty much every day for 15 years. It'll only be my 2nd time alone for the night in this house (the first one being when he had another surgery and that night did NOT go well for me). But I am hanging in there; my mental state is better now than it was then, and knowing he's feeling good overall helps a lot too. And I have support from a neighbor if I need anything.

So I hope you are all well, that's what's going on with me.

While I was at the hospital I set up some emulators on my phone so now I can play all my tokimemo games on the go. I own them all and the disc-based ones are my own dumps even. Took a while to get TM3 running, but mostly because I'm a big dummy :)
