The Mist.

I continued to read The Mist by Stephen King this week. Its gotten pretty intense, and i didn't think it would get like it has. People start to go crazy because they've been in the market so long and people start to get corrupt and kill each other. I don't see how killing each other will answer anything though. Many people are tired of waiting for something to happen so they take their own chances and go outside and attempt to get to their cars. I don't believe that this is a very good either.

Few people are left it seems because many people have gone and left and gotten killed or escaped but I'm not sure as to what actually happened. I don't know what the remaining people can do anyways. They seem to be stuck in the market although they have plenty of supplies which is convenient. The story seems to be coming to an end but ill finish it next week.

update on grandma.

My grandma met with her doctor, Dr. Craft today. She says its the best type of bone cancer one can have if you were able to choose. There going to treat her with zometa IV and arimadex. To put off more invasive chemo as long as possible. She has the cancer in her skull, legs, ribs and arms. We are waiting to see what the side effects will 
be from the zometa IV that she had today. She will see Dr. Barr in the morning.


She visited with us over the Mardi-Gras holiday and we got to spend a bunch of time with her and take care of her. She was stiff feeling quite sore from her surgery but she is feeling a bit better now. She went back home in Mississippi but she got to spen the majority of the holiday with us.

grandma.

well, I've been absent for these few days. I've been visiting my grandmother in mississippi. as i may or may not have mentioned before, she has bone cancer. today, i sat in the waiting room in the hospital for about 5 hours while we were waiting for my grandma to get in to her procedure. after awhile of waiting, her name was finally called, and she had a bone biopsy.

When she got through, she wasn't feeling very well, for obvious reasons. essentially what a bone biopsy is, where the doctors drill through the bone, and the bad cells, presumably caner cells, although hopefully not, are then taken through a hollow tube. This process had to be repeated 4 times because they didn't get a good enough sample. she is very sore and tired and what not and spending time with her these past days has been quite nice.

The mist.

I left off last time reading this book when the people that were shopping finally found out what was out in the mist. They weren't pleased with what they found and not many people believed that anything was out there at first. So, many people are frightened now, and they have been waiting for the mist to pass. Will it pass anytime soon, or ever for that matter?  Where did this mist come from?

There is a military man in the market and mentioned something about a government project that may have something to do with the mist. could that be true? many people are curios as to if that is true and people start demanding answers. some people get very hostile and start hurting and in some instances killing each other. it gets straitened out somewhat, but people are still rather angry. will these people be their own end?

relieved.

so, i finished up up rough draft for my world analysis paper. it feels really good to be finished with that, im not as stressed as i was now. i know there is a ways to go on the paper, but i feel that most of the work has been done because the rough draft is kind of like a backbone, so its all good.

so far, i feel pretty good about this paper. at first, i was hesitant to whether i would be able to write such a paper with ease, turns out, it wasn't nearly as challenging as i thought it would be. i feel pretty good about my paper, hope we get it over with soon though.

The Mist continued.

I continued reading The Mist again this week. As i left off, the people were in the market gathering groceries when the mist rolled in. It was unusually thick and people started getting nervous. Could there be something lurking in the mist? Could it be toxic or what not? People started leaving and then screams and what not were heard. Then they all stopped leaving and became very scared. I wonder what could be out there?

Some people were frightened while other thought it was a prank or some sick joke as they decided to leave as well and gore-like sounds came from outside. Could this be some sick joke? A tentacle was seen by some people as it grabbed some one. Could there be other creatures out there? This is quite curious.
