The motto of our group is always that RL comes first. It has to be that way. RP is fun, but RL is simply more important.
But, if someone has a conflict or an issue that needs attention (work, family stuff, etc.), I always ask that they give me a heads up if possible.
So, I wanted to give everyone a heads up about what's going on with me, and let you know that I may not be on as much as I usually am.
I won't be talking about this much (if at all) ooc on the RP feed because I don't feel like it's something I want to discuss. I'd rather have RP be my "happy place." If you want to ask me about it or chat about it, DM me or talk to me on my RL account: @Shara_
Or you can comment here.
Anyway......
My grandmother had surgery last week. Breast cancer. They took some lymph nodes, too.
She got the test results today. It's a rare form of cancer. It's not aggressive, but they didn't find it quickly. It has spread.
She'll need more surgery, chemo and radiation. She is in her eighties. They don't think she can handle the chemo.
So if I'm not on a lot, I'm either helping with her, or I have work stuff going on.
Just letting everyone know.
Edit - updated 1/31/12:
My grandmother had a bout of treatment. The treatment was horrible - side effects are hell - but she's now cancer free. She is still very weak from the aftermath of her treatments, but she's doing well otherwise.
