Splatterblog!

Maynard Fish Fry/Donation Extravaganza

SO. Everyone here should probably know by now what the deal is with my mom…if not, allow me to summarize with some TL;DR.  Fucking Splatterblog just ate a good chunk of this post, so I’m gonna have to use linkage:

One Surprise Brain Surgery Later

Mother, I tap this card for you:

Crazy Shit My Mom Has Said Since Brain Surgery

need more vibes

i want candy

Bummertown

We finally got to take her home on Friday, 05/16/08. Tons more has happened that I’ve omitted. It’s been a rough couple of months.  Her being trapped at the hospital for so long…scared, confused, not able to trust her own brains…probably the worst aspect of all of this.  She still talks crazy sometimes.  Cannot walk, or go to the bathroom without assistance…but even the most casual observer can see that she’s improved drastically.  We get conflicting data from her 2 docs - one, her oncologist, who says she does NOT have cancer and that the chemo port installation was just a precautionary measure, and TWO - her doc at the hospital, who says that she does INDEED still have cancer and was a total bag of dicks when he dropped the news. We find out in a month after her next MRI what the actual deal is, and we remain hopeful.

However - and this here is where we get down to the meat and potatoes - the Social Security benefits are still potentially a year off. Our combined personal savings are gonna run out in three months.

NOW. I realize that most of you don’t live anywhere near me. That’s totally cool. I do not expect you to hop in a plane and fly down to the hot, ridiculous asspit that the local swamp chieftains call fuckin’ FELLSMERE as they shield their leathered and weary faces from the oppressive glare of the sun and spend 5 bucks on a meal o’ fresh fish. In truth, I don’t dig the place either…I spend my life actively fleeing the orb of fire around which we rotate, moving as quickly as I can from air-conditioned location to air-conditioned location. If I’m outside for any extended period, trust me: It’s because I am forced to be there and have no control over the situation. This may be the third, perhaps fourth time I’ve endured such a thing for what could be construed as “a greater good”…most of the events I count amongst this number have been weddings, but those are stories that need not be told. What I am trying to illustrate here is that I absolutely despise being hot.
What I would appreciate, however, is people donating cash to my Mom’s paypal account at skip5dup@hotmail.com. One dollar, ten dollars, a quarter…whatever’s clever. Any bit of scratch you can sling my family’s way would be awesome.
There are elements of my life that have been on my ass to play on people’s sympathies in the manner in which I am now doing…I’ve been avoiding this with the same force I avoid stabbing myself in the genitals. This is not a place I wanted to go yet, but I cannot argue that the need for it is looming. Sucks, but it’s true…I’m hella not sure how we’re gonna handle things once the savings run out.
That said: I set my pride aside. Times be tough. You’d be doing me a solid by donating any amount you can.
