As most of you know, my mum has cancer. she got it pretty badly recently as she has now got bone cancer, lung cancer, liver, neck and breast cancer. she was doing really well battling it all, and she was get much, much stronger.

last week today she was out christmas shopping; doing what she loves most; doing things to make people happy. she was get a lot more active recently, but she cut her finger on the same day and it got infected.

as some of you may know(sal?) when you go through treatment and cancer and everything for 5 years, your immune system becomes very low and well, my mum most've been at a low stage and the infection got the better of her over the next 2 days. her finger swelled up and on friday she got so bad that i needed to get an ambulance for her at 3am to go to hospital.

i sat with her for a few hours and decided to go home. a few days later i realised she was getting a bit confused, not really understanding why she was there etc. it got worse on tuesday when she didn't even know who i or my sister was and didn't know where she was either.

today we got told her situation is critical; basically she has days left to live(if that), and well it's just a waiting game now.

So, as a result me and my sister are gonna live ourselves and probably not be able to afford things such as the internet/this house for some time, and that means no smacktalks, heh.

I'll be on in the next few days, hopefully i can sort out things financially and stay on. but until then, goodbye guys.

Don't miss this good ol' horse too much!
