Just skyped with my friend and also "communicated" with the little cutie. :) He can eat and drink by himself now, so beautiful to watch! It was his birthday few days ago and he's still a bit hyped up! Keeps wanting Mom to light the candles again so he can blow them out. :happy: I love my man. :D
My friend doesn't look too good and has lost a lot of weight. Her weight freaks me out in the sense that I get really scared about her. I'm going to go visit soon, after my move at the beginning of November.
Now, here's a vent coming. Please make sure to be able to take the anger in it if you decide to read on.

VENT
Why the he** is it that doctors do not listen??? Yes, not all doctors, I know. But I have seen so many with cancer who have gone back to their doctors and the hospital telling them exactly what's wrong in their body, telling them about the pain, the kind of pain, the duration, etc. and they just prescribe some normal pain killers and send them away??? Don't they know that time is vital, literally, in finding the cancer???
Four months of running back and forth to her doctors telling them!!! Being in pain as much as my friend was, taking pain killers that would never work and by the end not being able to get up from bed because of so much pain. And all they do is send her home??? I want to scream and I want to swear and the sole reason I don't is because very kind and supportive people will read this... But I'm sick to my stomach and, if that can be said, "sick to my soul" too. Four months of wasted time. "There is nothing." Thank you.
And seeing her telling me the story and ending it saying she will not even go into starting to ask for the "why" as it doesn't help. And seeing her helplessness and disbelief about it. And hearing her say that at least she knows she's told them and she knew she wasn't crazy but they thought she was just having some psychological problem. I am full of rage! And at the same time I just want to lie down and sleep. Why do people not listen?
