well, I was gonna stay at Grimmauld Place, but no one had told me Mum had cancelled both the broadband and the cable TV. So no Internet, and I couldn't even get Channel 5 (which was showing House and Grey's Anatomy, both of which I would have liked to see). I ended up watching fuckin' Big Brother and doing the washing-up and then came home because I was scared my brain might melt.
makes sense, because she never uses either, but still!
been to hospital, seen her. so small and frail and yellow. they're doing tests. I keep thinking of things I could and should have done before things got this bad. She's scared she has cancer; it runs in our family. The only one of Mum's family who didn't die of cancer was her youngest sister who passed out drunk and choked on her own vomit when she was my age (substance abuse runs in our family too). I don't think she does because she had a complete health check a few months back and I think they'd have found it then. I think she just pushed her liver too far. But we'll see.
my cat was all pleased to see me and spent nearly two hours sitting in my lap :)

It's good to be prepared for the worst, but it's important to focus on the positives, too. It does sound like she's done one hell of a number on her liver, but I don't think there is an organ more capable of regeneration. There is room to hope for the best, and you're certainly entitled to an equal portion of that.

of course, in out family, they NEED it. *sigh*
I live in hope. Thank you.
p.s. she's not that tiny. I'm just fuckin' HUGE...

I didn't think she was that small because I'm comparing her to Mum's Maisie - but Maisie was a malnourished feral kitten once and she's a founder member of the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee herself. She's more filled-out than Cassie but not really any bigger. I hope it doesn't cause problems for the kittens.
(that's Maisie in the icon)

that's very much what my sister said. Mum is very awkward about stuff like that. I'm trying not to blame myself.
...not actually succeeding, but I'm trying.

On the mom front - you both are still in my thoughts. Yellowish eyes and skin can actually be a symptom of jaundice...although I'm not sure how one would get that, or how it can be treated. Do keep us updated. And *big hugs*
