The past week has been a sad week for my family and I.  Just a quick rundown of events: A week ago from Monday, she went to the emergency room for breathing problems.  They accepted her for an unexpected irregular heart beat.  A few days later on Thursday, they found her lungs engolfed with cancer on an x-ray and CAT scan.  Sunday, she died due to complications of a biopsy to determine she had cancer.

She was a smoker for at least 40 years (to my knowledge) quitting about 3 years ago due to complaints about not being able to breathe.   I figured that when she went to the ER, she was going to be treated for empazima or something similar due to the damage from cigarettes, I didn’t really expect to hear about the cancer.  I really blame the smoking for her death and I encourage everyone who smokes to stop before it hurts them.

Believe it or not, there is actually good news from this.  My grandmother had a very short, fairly painless death.  I am very happy that she didn’t suffer.  I do miss her very much, however I know that she didn’t suffer too bad at the end.

Anyways, don’t expect much out of me for the next couple of days.  I will return to normally hopefully by the weekend.  I also hope to give an update to the server moving situation sometime Sunday!
