zizes-schmizes.livejournal.comIt's been a while since I've posted, I know. And I'm sorry about that, dear readers, whoever and wherever you are. The truth is, I haven't been too busy, and I haven't been neglecting informing you about my oh-so-glamorous life - it's because I've been in the hospital.
So, your favorite blogger has a confession: I've been having really bad migraines, so bad that I used to spend days in bed at a time because just moving or seeing light or hearing things would make me feel like I was dying. So, my loving father gently chided me [read: bitched me out] to see a doctor. So, I did. And they did an MRI. And they found something. So - earlier in the week, I had exploratory brain surgery. And ... the thing that the docs found? Turns out to be a tumor. [Insert Schwarzenegger 'It's not a tumah' wav here, totally] And it's inoperable. And even if I have chemo to shrink the fucker, they don't know if it'll work. So. Do I stick with the 1-10 years they say I might have, or do I do the chemo and maybe eke a tiny bit more time out of it? I don't know. I have a lot of thinking to do, I think.
The most shocking part of all wasn't even the diagnosis. It was seeing One True Love afterwards. Apparently, he works here. And he'd been told I was here. And he came to see me. Talk about a surprise. And maybe a good one, I thought, considering I've been in love with him since I was 16 years old. I left Dr. Dinosaur, Ph.D. practically at the altar because of the hope I had of reconnecting with OTL. And I really wanted to be Mrs. Dr. Dinosaur, Ph.D.
We talked for a while, I disclosed my diagnosis and then he dropped the bombshell that he was a dad. A single dad. Which, I mean, I know he dated after me - it's one of the reasons I stopped talking to him on Facebook and whatever - it just hurt too much to know that he'd moved on when I couldn't.
I might've asked him to come see me again. And he might've said that he can't do 'this', whatever 'this' is, and I haven't seen him since. I won't lie. I want 'this' to be 'us'. And it hurt when I finally realized that there will probably never be another chance at 'us'.
So, hope? I kind of don't have any right now. About anything. And having no hope is probably worse than just about anything in the world.
Signing off, your faithful blogfriend.
