The Oracle

I am so sorry about your dad.

This friend/person needs to realize that her needs or what seems to be important to her in her life at the moment is not what is as important to other people. A real friend would realize this and would understand. I am sorry that this person doesn't feel this and is putting this extra strain on you and your father/family.

Like sekmut said; Have you told her to go away? Or just that what seem important to her is just not all that important to you at the moment. You realize that she is having a difficult time, but does she *REALLY* realize the same about you? Besides, with the holidays and everything it always seems more stressful for everyone.

Hang in there.

*Big Hugs*

Brightest Blessings!

I'm with Sekhmut on this one aswel.

Now you know me, I'm straight to the point I would not be anywhere near as tolerant as you have been. Personally I'd tell her where to go and add the extra 'you are not the only one with problems' comment for good measure.

I do however know you well enough to say that though upset by this friend you also value the friendship you have. I'd go with what Adarian said and make SURE that she knows that you don't have time at the moment. If she doesn't listen then I'm afraid Lynx my friend you have to make the tough choice and turn away.

Sometimes its needed.

My dad is running a fever today (102F or 38.9C). They think the new fluid is from an infection. They are running alot of test right now. Hoping to know something soon.

As for the "friend", I emailed her today and told her not to contact me again. She only talks to me when she wants something which seems like constantly. I have mentioned this person to you Cadno. She was the one who thinks all pagans are Wiccans. I had talked to her about this before but she just rolled over me like I hadn't said anything. I had been trying to slowly untangle from her since she is a pyschic vampire. I am still waiting for her revenge. She won't take this well. Anyway, thank you everyone for your help and wishes.

If she's a vampire and doesn't know the difference between Pagan and Wiccan I wouldn't worry too much. Besides, you know that people such as myself have a great deal of experience in that field and know quite a few bitter tasting tricks

LOL I can be pretty powerful when I feel that someone I love is threatened or disrespected. So far nothing out of her. I just hope that she got the message finally and will go away.

My dad is still waiting to talk to the doctor, but they have done alot of tests. My mother is on the verge of taking him out of the hospital here (this is a different hospital than the one that screwed up before) and take him back down to Houston. Will keep you all updated as I learn anything.

Well they did surgery on him Wed. He has been in Intensive Care since then. He is doing better, but still has along way to go before coming home. They have removed a lot of fluid out of his left lung and did a procedure that should stop the production of the fluid. We will see how it goes.

Thank you all for your continuing prayers. I believe they are helping all of us.

Well he got to come home yesterday. <YES> He is very weak but if all goes well with the surgery results, he won't have to fluid removed again.

My parents are planning a mini-vacation to Washington D.C. for the Christmas holiday. That to me is a good sign. After returning home, they will be looking for him a new little dog. Their's was killed by a car a few months back. He has decided that he is going to be around long enough to care for one (he's spirits are rising).

Well some time has past since I last posted here. My dad is doing better. He hasn't been in the hospital since Nov. He does get very run down with the chemo treatments. He feels good the day after but the next few days are very rough. They put a steroid in the chemo when they do it is why he feels better that next day. The tumors are the same size so that is a good thing.

I ended up with the new dog instead of him . They decided that they didn't want to risk losing another one while they were going to Houston for treatments. I was kind of glad because they really wanted another mini-dachshund (Kibble is an Italian Greyhound/Dachshund mix) and I had grown attached to her.

Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts.

Well we have some good news. The tumor has shrank a small amount.

thats great hun!
