Lumps and Bumps

Well, it's officially Lump Day today. I am dropping off Princess, the puppy, at one vet to be spayed, and then taking Sweet Pea, the rat, to a different vet to have a tumor removed. Then I'm off to Riddle Hospital for a mammogram. Which is coincidentally very convenient, since my mom drove my dad back to Riddle in the middle of the night last night. He had started throwing up last night, and when my mom went to check on him, she noticed a "soccer ball sized lump" in his abdomen. My mom is big on checking the internet for every health issue, so she immediately diagnosed it herself as a hernia. She and my dad have been vacationing in the Poconos all week; no matter, she took her pocketbook, her laptop, and my dad and drove back to Media. They arrived at Riddle Hospital by 2:00 a.m.; he was admitted by 3:15. He is to be operated on sometime today, so I guess I'll be hanging at the hospital today. Good times! He's probably more aggravated about missing NCAA action than anything else. He's a damn ornery 76 year old. So hopefully all the prayers will lift him up and keep the doctor's hands steady. Happy lump day.
