Long time, no see.

November 29th, 2006 at 04:11 pm

I've been gone from the Forums for a while now. I swear it was for a good reason.

My father has prostate cancer.

The surgery to remove the cancer was in September, and it went swimmingly. We'll find out sometime this month if they got all of it, or if he'll have to move on to chemotherapy. Going home a lot to check on my parents has cost a lot of money. I had to get another job to help pay for it. But it'll be worth it, knowing that I've been able to be there for my parents.

Unfortunately, I had to use my Challenge money to pay one of my bills. I guess I just have to try again after the new year.
