Update

[shipperx]

Spoke with my sis who spoke to the cardiologist. He said that they've been monitoring my dad's heart for years and that they knew this day would come. Actually he's been surprised that it's gone this long. It's been progressing very slowly. Because of that, he thinks it's okay not to rush the operation. They will do more tests, but it can hold off a few weeks to a month or so.

My sister was hoping for that as it would give my parents time to put things in order and it would allow for school to let out (My sister currently teaches high school chemistry... yeah, an M.D. who teaches high school chemistry. Go figure).

She sounded better about it which is reassuring. She and her husband (also a M.D.) know far more about medical matters than I do (ask me about carpeting, or fire codes in schools).

In happier, far, far, far less vital news, Peter David has posted some of the artwork for the Spike comic: http://peterdavid.malibulist.com/archives/002756.html

Gasp! It actually looks good.


And I'm expecting the delivery of my "Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars" DVD.

She sounded better about it which is reassuring Well, that's a good thing. I'm sure everything will be all right. I'm keeping all of you in my thoughts.

Hopefully everything will be okay. Thanks for the sympathy.

And after remembering how much I liked Peter David's book 'Q Squared' and seeing the artwork, I'm cautiously optimistic about the illustrated novel.

And, yeah, Spike looks yummy.

Well that's something, right? That the doctor doesn't think it's an emergency?

And that artwork is great--though bloody! ;)

He said not to delay it past the beginning of June, but hopefully that means that things are in a manageable state.

Thanks for the sympathy.

That sounds hopeful.

*continues to send good vibes*

Mom is being incredibly bullheaded though. Sigh.

Hopefully we can finally talk sense to her that the house is just bricks and it doesn't have to work them to death.

Grr. As I said, she's nutty about these things.

Thanks for the vibes.

Given what's happening, this sounds like good news and reason for at least cautious optimism. Fingers crossed that the news continues to be good.

I rather desperately want the best. I just can't DO anything and it's driving me nuts. I have mentioned that I'm a control freak, haven't I?

I'm glad you got some reassurance about your Dad's situation. It sounds like he's in good hands.

Wow - the Spike artwork is amazing. He actually looks like JM.

Thank you for the supportive vibes.

And, yeah, I was impressed with how good it looked.

Here's hoping all goes well with your Dad!

I was really pleasantly surprised by the comic art--much better than the eh sample I saw of the Angel miniseries.

Thank you.

And I was also pleasantly surprised by the art. Spike is pretty. That's good.
