Well, certainly seems like it anyway. Long story short, in the past 48 hours or so, two family members have been taken into the ER.

My aunt was admitted this weekend with PTSD, stemming to last years incident in which she witnessed my uncle being mauled to death by a bear, and was subsequently attacked herself.

Then, there's my brother, whom has just been admitted to the ER for abdominal pain, where, they found that he had significantly enlarged lymph nodes. It's not entirely confirmed yet, but the doctors are all but certain that his cancer has come back.

The good news in both cases is that the issues are being treated. This is especially good for my brother, as they just checked him for cancer a month ago, so if it is cancer they've caught it very early at least.

Still, after last years emotional roller coaster, I'd really hoped for an easy year. T_T
