A few weeks ago my mother was placed on a waiting list for the removal of the tumor in her head. Sadly, this also meant that the procedure to start treating the tumor in her lung would be postponed. (This because it’s done by a different hospital, and because the treatment will most likely leave her weak, and incapable of undergoing brain surgery.) Today we got some good news, if all goes well her surgery is scheduled for the 24th of this month, at which time they’re going to try and remove as much of the tumor in head as possible, and on the basis of what they remove do a definitive biopsy. The surgery is not without its dangers, of course, since the tumor is woven with the surrounding brain-tissue, and some light brain damage is not outside of the realm of possibilities.
Mom
One of these mornings,
it won’t be very long,
they will look for me,
and I’ll be gone.
Heroes…
…owns me.

If my throat looks the same way it feels, it’s a dry, rock desert-like landscape dotted by prickly plants. Even my voice plays the part of the occassional rock-slide.
