Remember The Big Fish? The guy I met who works where I do?
He emailed to tell me he’s got Stage IV cancer. *sigh

1:28 PM Phil
Oh my, sorry the hear that
Fucking suck ass disease
1:29 PM Sassy
I offered to help… hope he’ll let me somehow.
1:30 PM Phil
I hope he does
1:31 PM Sassy
We never did much… but kept talking.
Hope my experiences could help.
He was supposed to have a hip replacement but instead they found cancer. So he’s not only in treatment, he still can’t walk. Ugh.
It sounded like he thought it would make me run away but you know me… makes me want to run there and hold his hand.
1:34 PM Phil
Oh geez. Bad to worse
Whatever comfort you can provide will be appreciated, I’m sure
1:36 PM Sassy
You were so good to me when I was ill.
My body was crap but you kept my mind in fabulous shape!
1:37 PM Phil
It costs nothing to care and be good to people.
Easier when you already cared

How’d Day 2 go? Hope you still like it.

Had a crazy day – went to see a pal in the hospital. He had a massive heart attack on Thursday, quad bypass on Saturday. They finally woke him up and pulled the respirator yesterday and moved him out of CCU this morning!  Still dicey, but I hope the worst is over. 

I was at work for a couple of hours, then out to dinner with Hubby and a friend of his.

9:58 PM Phil
That’s very good! Day 2 was good!
9:58 PM Sassy
Hooray!
