diagnosis

So, My grandfather finally got his colonoscopy yesterday. He has colon and liver cancer. When I called yesterday evening my mom answered the phone (to my surprise...have I mentioned that my mother has been in town for two weeks, and we haven't seen each other once! I know that she is busy and I sound like a brat. I just feel like the least we could do is speak to each other.) I asked how the colonoscopy went, and her reply was, "Pretty much what we expected." Trying to get information from my mother is like pulling teeth. She will talk around the answer for days...it drives me crazy. I said...."well, what does that mean? What were you expecting." You have to be very specific if you actually want to get an answer. She told me that they found more cancer in his colonoscopy. I told her how sorry I was and asked how she was doing...even then she wouldn't give a straight answer. I tried to ask about prognosis...I got nothing. He was released from UTMB and taken to a rehab facility in League City. He will be there for about a week because he needs a full time nurse for right now, at least until he recovers from the surgeries. Anywho, I will have to call my grandmother again to actually get some information. I am more irritated with my mother now. I know it seems a little petty, but she ughhhhhhhhh.... drives me crazy. It's like she thinks that she is the only one allowed to be with my grandfather, and that she is the only one that can have the information regarding him. I understand that it is her father and that she is a daddy's girl...but when will she ever grow up? Anyway, I dont know where we are going from here. My grandfather really isn't the kind that will do chemo, so that really concerns me. Even if he decided to do chemo, I dont know if his body could actually handle it.

Right now I am waiting for the cable guy to get here...we are switching from Comcast to dish network. We seriously hate COMCAST. It cuts in and out all the time...we have a HD box, which runs very slow. When I want to rewind or fast forward...I hit play and it takes forever for it to kick in. Also, we pay $160 per month...which is just RIDICULOUS. I cant believe that we pay more for cable than for electricity. So, we finally made the switch to a different company. We will be getting all the same stuff, plus more HD channels and we will be paying one-third of what we pay now!!! Yeah!

As for Idol - I was wrong about the bottom three...it turned out to be Matt, Kris, and Adam..I was right about my prediction of who was going home though...it was Matt!
