Christmas

This year Grandma is still in the hospital. I just learned that she was moments away from losing her entire foot due to a lack of circulation. The surgery worked so bloodflow is solid again. She is out of ICU and in her own room. They are going to try to get her to walk within the coming days.

Thats the good news and something we are thankful for.

Selfishly I am not looking forward to going to Houston for Christmas. There's a good chance it will be in the hospital in Pasafuckingdena Texas. The twinkling refineries and smell of sweet sweet chemicals will be the backdrop of the holiday season. The beeping machines and television theme songs drifting down echoey hallways will be our carols.

bleh.
