So my grandfather survived both surgeries even though he had a heart attack between the two of them. He apparently had to have a skin graft done on his neck and lip where his cancer was. He doesn't look pretty, but he's alive and that's what really matters. There are a thousand crazy things going on in my life so far. I've pretty much decided I can't be a nurse. Time spent seeing my grandparents in their seperate conditions have lead me to believe my stomach isn't strong enough for it. I'm looking into becoming a Psycologist instead. My mom found out that I'm bi-sexual and polyamourous over the past week. Well, putting it MILDLY, she's not happy. Almost told me she didn't want me to go visit grandpa in the hospital. That hurt. A LOT. She's worried she's failed as a parent. Hasn't raised me properly because my belief system doesn't reflect her own. I don't think it's right, but *shrugs* she's my mom. I don't really know what to tell her other than try to be tolerant. She's a lot more open-minded now than when I was younger... but she's still fairly closed-minded and because of that it's put a huge strain on our relationship. I love her. I'm not abandoning her until she abandons me. But it has made things much harder between us.
