WTAF

So, in between all the excitements of this year, my brother was diagnosed with lymphoma/thyroid cancer/not clear which in the week when he was visiting my dememted mother in spring. (I forget which month. It's been that kind of year.) He wound up with a pretty good prognosis: remove the thyroid, radiation, life is good thereafter.

The thyroid removal was supposed to be about three hours ending in noon his time today. It didn't end until seven his time.

I have been steadfastly avoiding pressing my sister-in-law, who has more than enough on her plate. But I don't know why the surgery took so long, or how bad the results are, or what, in general, the fuck.

Thoughts and prayers, please.
