Running with Scissors on a rainy day

Well today's been a boring day. I've been hanging out around the house not doing much. My mom went to the doctor today and got a shot in her knee. I guess that's gonna help lubricate it or something, idk.
I watched Running with Scissors today and omg that's a great movie! It's about a little boy whose mother wants to become a famous writer but her husband holds her back so she divorces him. She starts seeing a therapist that starts drugging her up and steals her money. She sends her little boy to live with the therapists family. Everyone in the family is insane except the mother and the sister that's adopted.
Well it's alot more in depth than that but that's the basics of it! You should really watch it.

It started raining about half an hour ago. Everytime it rains Chester runs around the house in a panic trying to find somewhere safe to hide. I think the thunder scares him. He ran into my room and hid under my pink blanket, now he feels safe lol

Well anywho, I can't wait to start working next week. I'm hoping to save up for a car and my insurance should go through in a coulpe weeks. I don't really believe it will be settled just because I have a crappy lawyer that really has done nothing for me except made me not be able to find a job or get an income or even let me have a rental car but hey whatever. Just pray it will work out, that's all I can do.

Hii!! My first blog!

Hii everybody! This is my very first blog on Blogspot.com! I'm excited. I figured I would write this blog for my family and friends to read since everyone lives so far away. Theres been alot going on in my family. First my mom fell and shattered her knee cap, then my grandma finding out she has cancer...Geeeeezzz will it ever stop??

Well lets start with my mom...
A couple months ago (Mother's Day) my mom was walking through the kitchen and slipped on some water and slid under the cabinet. She was screaming in pain and we couldn't touch her knee. I had to call 911 and have them take her to the hospital. We found out that she had shattered her knee cap. This wasn't just a little break it was something that rarely happens, esspecially to housewives walking through the kitchen. Luckily they were able to do surgery to piece her knee back together. Now she's having to go to therapy (which she hasn't been doing as much as she should!!!!!).

Ok now to my grandma.
A couple of weeks ok my grandma went in to get a mamogram. We didn't think anything of it. Then she got a call saying that she would need to come take more x-rays. She went back and we waited for the results, which came back positive for cancer. So about a week or 2 ago my grandma went in to get the cancer taken out. They ended up taking out some lymphodes as well as the cancer and left a little drain thing in her under her arm. She turned out great after surgery. She looks a million times better now!!
Now that the sugery is done we have to worry about radiation and chemotherapy.
This morning we went to the doctor to talk about radiation and chemo. It is gonna be a hard journey that my grandma's gonna take. It's gonna take alot out of her but she has a great doctor that really seems to care about her and she also, of course, has her family! The chemo is gonna make her lose her hair after the very first time. They said 10 days after her first treatment. They also said that chemo is the hardest part of this whole ordeal. She's gonna have to go to chemotherapy first, then radiation, then 2 other things. I can't remember the names of them tho. The doctor said that the worst of it will be done with then chemo is over in october.

On a more positive side EVERY doctor and nurse that we talked to said that grandma looked 20 years younger than her age hahahaha. Everyone always tells her that.

Oh and me and my mom are gonna get wigs to wear with my grandma and I also am gonna dye her hair blonde and throw some pink in there!!!!! Wait for pictures!!!! lol
