So. I found out a few days ago that apparently my mother was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. Chronic-stage Hepatitis C at that.
Heh. Great. Add that onto the mounting piles of shit that's come her way over the years. I suppose that would also take into account as to why I haven't been around for a few days, mainly because I've been mulling this over and all it's been doing was driving me even more crazy.
On the flip side of this, she's a tough old gal. She's been through a lot herself and I know she can beat this. Call it foolish optimism or whatever you want, but I know she'll be fine. If worse comes to worse, I talked to her one night about what I could do to help and I of course offered her my own liver to her. Why? Because after all of the sacrifices she made for us over the years, its only fair that someone had to return the favor. And trust me, as someone who also sacrificed plenty over the years also, one more - especially on this scale - wouldn't hurt. Whenever I pawned my TV, my PS2, my laptop, anything like that, I never wanted a red cent out of any of the money that was given back, simply because it wouldn't do me any good. That it was blood money or whatever arbitrary excuse I had to refuse any money she attempted to give me.
All I can do now as of this moment is just try and keep my faith, my sanity and my own physical well-being strong... And if I can't make myself happy however I can, I feel I can at least try and put a smile on someone else's face... Somehow...
I'm sorry if this seemed a bit short or whatever, it's just that hearing this news really knocked the wind out of my sails. I just need a little while to think things over, folks. It's all I ask.
