Just wanted to update on my situation.
First I think the visits from my sisters has ended for now. Good thing though, the last visit ended with my burning again. I was so upset with her, I needed to get it out in some way. My niece and nephew will be around at Christmas, but that is a very different story. These two I am very close to. I could not imagine them ignoring me the way two of my sisters do.

My father has improved. We do not know if it is cancer or not. He is having a CAT scan today, but I probably will not find out anything until right before Christmas. As I have said before, I am treating things as if he will not last much more. I am trying to get out to my parents once a week now.

My personal life is in tatters again. The classes I began last September, I have not been to since my father's crisis began. I need to begin trying to pull things together again.

I also want to thank everyone for being there for me the last few months.
