Leaving the forums for a while

For anything and everything that's not already covered in the other forums. Except for that which is forbidden. Check the forum guidelines to make sure or risk the wrath of the warrior cobalt tarantulas!

For how many xkcd's there are, I'm really surprised how often I see a random one that I'm familiar with. That one does have a consistent subject relevant to forums though lol.

And fair enough D, I was mistakenly referring to this, getting the two threads confused.

I'm sure you've all seen this song and dance... but not for this reason. I am definitely going to be away from the forums for a while, and... OMG... the reasons for it... just shatter me. My mom had a stroke. Minor one. In the frontal lobe. It's mostly affected language according to them, but not all her language. She's being taken care of so a second stroke doesn't happen. She may have forgotten to take her blood thinners. I'm lost... I now have severe separation anxiety, since we live together, and I have to face the possibility she might not be here much longer. I will be calling my case worker tomorrow. If you wanna offer words of support, that's fine. But I can't get involved in piddly little sci-fi stuff when... when my whole world's life hangs in the balance, and the best part of me has been greatly wounded. So yes, if you wonder where I went, that's why. :cry:

Best of luck to your mom, and yourself. Hope she has a swift and full recovery. :)

They said she's going to the bathroom fine, and eating fine. The big problem is language slurring. Not saying what she wants to. Case manager is coming in tomorrow. But I can't stop crying...

I've been there, mate. It sucks. If it was a one-off then she has a good chance. If there is an underlying cause like there was with my mum... it fucking sucks.

I don't get why you'd think otherwise. Yes, if you wish.

@clearspira They say she's doing better and seem sure she will recover. But I am suspicious by nature, so I don't wanna get my hopes up.
