So the last few days I've been visiting my aunt in the hospital (she's home now). And every once in the while, I'd have to leave the room for some sort of exam. So, as I'm chilling in the waiting area, people are always walking around, sometimes even the sickly for PT.

A few times, I saw guys with really jacked up heads. Like this one Asian dude, the entire left side of hise head was stapled up, like a radius aroung his ear from his temple to behind his ear. Like a 9" incision (gash?), and just like wow... I couldn't believe my eyes at all, because it looked bad. The guy could walk, though, and that was about it.

And then another guy, his right temple area was all swollen and looked like it had been torn apart well. Lots of staples and sutures in a 2" area.

I don;t really know where I'm going, but it's just weird, looking at how jacked up some of these peoples' heads (usually the most important part of the body) are and how they seem to be coping and dealing just hunky dory.

I had a cousin with major head trauma and that was bad, too. Just staples and staples and more staples (and some of the skull bone removed).

It's crazy how resilient one sensitive part of the body can be, and how another resilient part can be so weak. My aunt has cancer practically everywhere and is dying.

The human body is funny.

I work with cancer patients everyday, I know exactly what you mean.

Cancer fucking sucks.

It's really sad watching somebody you love die so slowly.

Like, I wish there wasn't chemo, because so often it just PROLONGS the suffering.

It doesn't help that she's so "strong." She won't sign a DNR, because she's 46, has two kids, blah blah blah... she'd rather be a vegetable, no lie.

It doesn't help that she's crazy.
