anywhere but here, part three.

In the midst of an already bad day (headache + stomache + bad day at work) I received the following email from my mom:

Please call me when you get a chance…Grandpa went to the oncologist today and found out that they did not get the cancer…it has spread and one of his teeth is black, indicating its spread. So after having several scans, they will do surgery. Don’t know yet how far up into the sinus they will go, but they will make a prosthesis to replace the jaw they remove. His next appt is the 15th so we will know surgery date then. Nancy, Lane, and Joe are there now.

Perspective is a wonderfully painful thing.
