Yeah, guess it's time for a new journal. The previous one still applies, but new things are happening in life. Mostly one big thing.

For the last couple of years, my father hasn't been how he once was. He eats a lot less, is in bed way too much, and has gained way too much weight, especially for how little he eats now. He's had minor seizures apparently, mostly noticeable by him having to stop and let them pass. They're more of periods of blackouts.

But the cause has been found, and on April 23rd, he will be going in for surgery to have the problem fixed!

Now, this isn't some little [insert minor surgery here that takes like two seconds and you're out of the hospital the next minute]. Ooooh, no. He's having a BENIGN TUMOR taken out of the CENTRAL LOBE of his BRAIN! .................

So you likely know where all the scary times are coming from. Now, my family isn't one that sits back and hopes things go good. Hell no. My grandmother has done so much research into other methods to get the thing out, researched his doctor... all that stuff. Only one way to get it out it seems (drill a hole in the side of his head and get it out that way) But apparently the doctor is on very high demand for brain operations. I dunno if my grandma was exaggerating, but he apparently does like 300~400 surgeries around the brain a YEAR. Yeah. Do that math. x.x So, yes, he's good. And they say that this damn thing explains every symptom he's been having, and that once this is done, he'll make a fast recovery and be my old dad again. I hope so. I miss my old father.
