this week has been one hell of an emotional roller coaster...where shall i begin?
two of our friends discovered last week that they have ovarian tumors and things moved really quickly...one of them, who's part of our small group...went into surgery this week and got 3 large tumors and a fibroid removed. she's now recovering at home [tumors proved to be benign] and the other friend, has a tumor the size of a baby...she actually looks like she's 3 mo. pregnant..and doctors think it may be cancerous. she hasn't gone in to get it removed yet, but hopefully it'll happen this week. we've been praying and praying for both of them and are hopeful that her tumor will prove to be benign as well.
there's some drama w/a few ppl in our small group. though we feel for them, a part of us are just emotionally exhausted by it all. we realize we don't handle drama or high-maintenance ppl very well. it tires us out and then we get snappy with each other. it's also hard to really communicate with ppl who see everything as black/white, either/or. so we're going to start establishing some boundaries. we care for them very much, so we hope they're mature enough to not take it personally, but they're starting to get a little manipulative with their games.
my aunt and uncle, who were visiting here this past week, discovered that he has scabies.
my cousin-in-law joan [who's married to my cousin steve] is pregnant with their first child. she was so sweet when she told me. "i didn't know how to tell you hannah coz you got married before us and i didn't want you to feel hurt or anything that we got pregnant first." i was like, "are you kidding me? who cares about that! you're having a baby!!" i guess it's a korean thing...in korean culture, the person who gets married first is supposed to have a baby first, especially if she is older. but c'mon. that's a ridiculous "rule." and talk about pressure! i told her i didn't want to live my life according to such pressures of korean society. especially since we don't live in it. she seemed genuinely relieved, poor girl.
and finally, my sister got into a major car accident and totaled her car. i just about flipped out when she called me. but thank God, she's alright and the other guy involved is alright [his car looked damaged beyond repair too she said]. the ironic thing is she just paid off the car last month. but she's been wanting a small suv so she'll probably end up buying a new cr-v. i'm trying to persuade her to go the certified pre-owned route, but we'll see. [i can't help it. it's the older sibling in me...i want her to save money and put more towards assets and not things that will depreciate in value...but it's her choice. as long as she likes it and it's safe.]
so that's been my week. this past ONE week. i've been in-and-out of hospitals, down to o.c. and back, and on the phone for what seems like hours a day. i think i'm going to turn off my phone and get a cappucino blast now.
oh...BUT there have been some highlights...susan's bday, namely. we had a great time going out for what ended up to be just drinks in hollywood, and then to arcadia for some bowling. overall i sucked ass, but i was able to get a few strikes in. =) next time i'll have to bowl when i'm not so full. thank God for maternity shirts! they double as shirts for food bellies as well as pregnant bellies! =D
