Good news tidbits...

[jay]

While I'm scrambling to finish the cover forms for two proposals... a pleasant interruption from my parents.

- My father just got word that he's been accepted into an experimental study treatment program for his usually-terminal IPF lung condition, after a year of trying :D

- My mother had her gallbladder removed last Friday (didn't tell her kids or anyone, as usual... sigh) but is recovering well, without the complications that cyan_blue has had to experience, and

- the football team of one of my universities (Georgia Tech) will be playing in a minor bowl game here in the SF Bay area (Emerald Bowl ?) on 12/29. I'll be back and intend to go. If anyone else local wants to tailgate, let me know...

That's all good news!

And Dan's family does the same thing about notifying us when there's health stuff. His sister almost lost an eye from a run in with a tree, and we didn't know about it for months, when we were in the surgery waiting area when his dad fell off a 10 foot ladder and had to have his ankle/foot operated on (that's what led to him having to have it amputated last year). And we live all of 20 miles away from them.

Families, can't live with them, can't shoot them ;-)

*hugs*

Drives me nuts, at times... once, she was in the hospital for a week, and I only found out months later.
