Else what's a heaven for?

My ex-fake girlfriend gives amazingly good advice when it comes to my family. amazing.

Family drama from last weekend seems to have subsided. I visited my dad at the hospital yesterday and he's back to 95%: he takes even longer than usual to tell the same old stories I've heard a million times, but I'll take that over last weekend's incoherence and inability to talk, thankyouverymuch. They figured out what's wrong with him, they're treating the symptoms, and in a few weeks, they'll treat the problem.

It was interesting to see how the family pulled together for the little crisis: the three NY kids took turns visiting, baby bro sent flowers, my mum's siblings brought food and drove NY children and visited. Of course, my father commented that little bro's bedside manner leaves something to be desired - quel surprise - my mum says he spent most of the time mocking my dad. Then again, apparently mine needs some work too - are you not supposed to ask about the treatment in front of the patient or something? sna? Anyhow, I'm incredibly relieved that this is not something really horrible and very, very happy I got to see for myself that he's mostly better. and now I can go see the Mouse and the Raptors with a good heart.

Oh, and if I ever do get terribly sick, I hope I do so in G- bc the hospital there is SOOOOO much nicer than the one dog was at.
