Just to lighten the mood-
A while ago I posted a thread about my mum as she was on the verge of death. Back then I was amazingly happy that she even recognized me or could wave a hand at me.
According to a nurse, she had very, very low chances of survival. With a blood clot going through her heart, blood clots in her lungs, a dead infected large intestine, and two strokes, it's not surprising they'd say that.
Anyway, now she's talking, perfectly there mentally, and fully awake. She's paralyzed down one side, but her and us I too overwhealmed at her survival to be negative about that. It's at times like this that you see how great human nature can be.
Sorry for such a personal post, I just felt happy as it was her birthday today (quite a surreal sight seeing 10 people together in a tiny ward with wine and a cake) and there have been lots of negative posts in general. :-)

Congratulations on your 3000 points. If they're at all worthy of celebration, I don't know. Depends on if you value them or not, I guess. Anyway, that's a very nice break to catch. I haven't had a parent quite at the claws of death yet, but it's bound to happen eventually. I really dread it, and it seems pretty bizarre in its inevitability. Must have been an incredibly tough time.

Sometimes it takes the shitty things in life to remind you how awesome it can be.

yeah thinking about the inevitability issue is quite nasty, but almost everyone has to go through it.

Very true. It's odd how you can be happier now, when all this is going on, then ever before-while your mum was well. Obviously, you feel for them in their situation, but you also learn a really vibrant appreciation for everything.
Anyway, that's enough emotionalism here now. Sorry. ;-)

Yeah, can we get back to the tune now? :-) I'm really up for some music again. Got lots of things going on-one or two live shows, a few bits and bobs on the new Grace Jones album, a possible release, etc. It's all good.
