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.
