Switching to english 10/05/2012

It might sounds odd, but these days, I think I speak English more often than I speak Dutch, which is my mother tongue. It’s as easy for me to express myself in either language, it’s just that, when written in English, more people might be able to understand what the hell I’m on about 😛

So.. what’s new? Having a crazy week at work, I’ve been so productive, it scares me. But the explanation is simple: after next Wednesday, I’ll be off for nearly 2 weeks. Time for a little mental ctrl-alt-del.

The past weeks have not been easy, we found out my dad has colon cancer, and even though they think he will be fine with just a surgery, it’s been scary shit, waiting to find out whether or not his cancer had spread to his liver, or lungs, or… Fortunately, that wasn’t the case, the only thing they cannot check until the day of the surgery are the lymph nodes in his belly. They will be checked (or removed?) during the surgery. The tumor is in the right hand side of the colon, which is good. They can fairly easily remove it, and reattach the small intestine at a higher point. It’s just that it’s still a tricky surgery, and we’ve seen a few too many people get leaks in where the 2 parts are reattached to be fully at ease. And anyways..it’s cancer, you know. It’s scary, it shouldn’t be there, and we’re not ready to lose our dad to the stupid thing.

Good thing: dad isn’t planning on going anywhere either 🙂

 

Alright.. I’m still at work and got some stuff to do. Catch ya later!
