hank green is so iconic

this is my beautiful boy jake, he lived with my mum and he was 13 years old. my brother, my bug, my buddy. and he passed away this morning, without me there to tell him that i loved him and i am filled with guilt even though there was no way i would have made it, it all came as a shock. so i'm proclaiming it publicly here: i loved jake with all of my soul 💚💚💚 hug your furry or scaly or slimey friends for me, i'm hugging both of my sons who will no doubt be looking for their uncle the next time i visit home 💚💚💚

i know tumblr has a weird relationship with the green brothers, but for anyone who’s not caught up but might care, hank came out as bi and also has cancer (but will probably be fine)

Very down today, feel awful.

Everything online about thyroid nodules is like "Don't worry, only 5% are malignant 🥰" as if there being a 1 in 20 chance of cancer is low enough to be very comforting. Like, knowing that number is actually MORE concerning as I would have assumed it was much lower.

now that i can give a more coherent update, the prognosis is basically that she will be in indefinite hospice treatment with symptomatic treatment where possible. the main concern is her platelet count, because her blood is unable to clot and so even a little bump could cause big problems for her. and then her appetite to ensure she keeps her weight on and strength up

we ended up at the kindest emergency vet we've ever been to and god i cannot even begin to get into how many traumatic experiences we've had with horrible emergency vets... but they were all amazing there and the main vet took so much time to break down what was going on and keep us informed on every single test they did and then afterward wrote up a super detailed report so we could go to a non-emergency vet to continue her meds if they improve her qol

and already a day and a half later she is seeing a huge improvement in her energy and comfort, like she's doing things i haven't seen since before the lethargy first set in which i am so beyond grateful i get to see again even if i know she isn't 'getting better'

coolio. my father hasn't taken his blood pressure medication in almost a year :^)

his blood pressure is almost as high as when he almost died due to a ruptured blood vessel on my birthday a couple years ago

OH MY GOD IM VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY glad you didn't go with the original ending/story author!!! the story i've read is so great and interesting and the characters' dynamic evolution is just * clench fist in the air with love * while the original ending is... just extremely sad (i absolutely love angst but Major character death by sickness in modern AUs never stroke me right) and we would have missed so much! no relationship evolution between Adam, Lucifer, Eve and Lilith! no interesting relationship between Val and Adam! I'm just very glad you choosed to continue the story and change the original idea author, I'm sorry if this text is a bit long haha, hope you'll have a fine day!

My original outlines always suit my need for angst, but I wanted a small dose of realism in this story. And that wasn't realistic. Life simply goes on, and I really wanted that more than the angst because I had set in stone the end of the story pretty early on (chapters 14 through 20). Besides, I needed that character and the relationship development, too. I'm happy where we took this.

My ferrets are seniors now and are slowly getting Old Ferret Diseases :(

oogh I finally have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and can stop letting my imagination run wild about the mysterious consult with an ENT surgeon they booked me after my thyroid ultrasound without letting me know what's going on first.

We've known my mom has breast cancer for a few months now, but I guess it hadn't really hit me until now. She's had surgery to remove a tumor already, but next week she starts chemo and she'll be going through that process for a full year before moving on to radiation. Opening Facebook and seeing her make a status not only on her personal page, but also on the business page for the shop her and dad have, have really made it sink in that this is actually happening. I'm sure I'll have a lot more feelings about this as the chemo journey really gets underway, but right now I'm just doing my best to do what I can to make things easier for her.

was woken up by my mum in tears bc she thought my cat was dying (he is, just not right now), finished dealing with that and crawled back into bed to try to go back to sleep, checked my phone and found out hank green has cancer

so not like, a great morning so far, objectively speaking
