some stuff deserves to be mentioned
I don't get why my family doesn't tell me when other family members are ill.
On thursday I talked to my mom who casually mentioned by brother todd has something going on with his thyroid which has apparently been going on for a few weeks and i had dinner with him on friday and he apparently had a lot of fluid drained out of it (gross) which was good, but there's still a solid bit and that's less good. So they're running tests and should know something more early in the week, then saturday as i'm waiting to hear from a friend arriving in town to see what she wanted to do, my dad calls because he's in the hospital with scott who had a seizure thursday and isn't really coming around. scotts epilepsy isn't anything new, but in recent years had been better. But apparently he's been put on a new medication with a lower dosage and this time his seizure lasted a full 5-6 minutes and usually after he's done he's pretty groggy and just wants to sleep but apparently he was just too groggy so he's still in the hospital maybe being released today.
apparently todd knew this and didn't share this with me friday. this is one of the main (probably the main) reason keeping me from moving to chicago- it would kill me to be that far from my family and for this stuff to be happening.
this morning i had brunch with sue b who i haven't seen in probably 14 years. she was coming through for business which coincided to something her brother was doing- some all night film festy thing (which turned out to be in someones house and i was like "um, that's not a film fest, that's just dudes watching videos") and after her stories this morning, i am really glad i didn't go. I do like the fact that i have friends that pop back into my life after 14 years and it's like nothing....although it's like "where was i when i last saw you?" and then it's 14 years of annecdotes over coffee and a super eggy fritatta from the french cafe that, in case you're wondering? doesn't open
til 10. also, there was a john stamos look alike. i just thought it deserved mentioning.
