A Not So Happy Thanksgiving,... Ugh.
12 years ago
So,... I just got news that my father is in the hospital.
A few days back, he was bitten by a brown recluse spider. Well, it started to swell up and so they took him to the ER. The doctors wanted to admit him right then and there but he told them no, saying that he had to work and that he couldn't stay in the hospital. Well, yesterday, something came up and it busted and drained. It's INCHES deep into his muscle and his right arm is four inches bigger than his left.
Going to the ER today, they immediately admitted him. Well, they discovered that his entire right arm is filled with poison and it is life-threatening. The surgeon is coming in tomorrow to tell him what they're going to do. They don't think they can save the arm so they're probably going to have to amputate his arm.
..... His RIGHT arm. His good arm. If it's gone he can't work anymore. He won't be able to drive anymore,...
..... He won't be able to hold my sister again, he,...
No more bear hugs. No more holding hands properly,...
No walking me down the isle arm in arm.
I'm completely and utterly horrified,... I haven't stopped crying since I found out. I don't know what to do,...
Fuck Thanksgiving and fuck my birthday. This is absolutely the worst.

And don't loose hope they will manage to get that venom out and save arm - they don't give hope but it doesn't mean you should loose it.
My best thoughts are with you. *hugs gently*
But nonetheless...
