I'll take 'cancer' for 100, Alex.

Yeah. My grandpa is most likely having cancer in his liver.
He was scanned and my mom was called to the hospital today, to meet with the doctor and my grandpa.
The doctor said that there is a 95% chance that grandpa has cancer in his liver and on thursday, we're going there at 1pm so he can get a CT scan so they can get an idea as to how much the cancer's spread.
To be very realistic, it's not a big surprise that he's got cancer; he smoked like 60 cigarettes every day, until 25 years ago and he's an alcoholic. An alcoholic who could, surprisingly, quit drinking from one day to the next, but still an alcoholic. His liver is bound to be damaged in one way or another.
Yeah, I know....the smoking and liver doesn't have anything directly to do with each other, but still..... he's not been good to himself.
Now, we don't know how bad it is, yet, but I'm already 'investigating' if and how it would be possible for me to take some leave of absence (isn't that's what it's called?) from work, to take care of him, if he prefers to die at home.
I mean, he's 80 and I'm still not that close to him, but if he wants to die at home and I can get that leave of absence thing, then that's what we'll do.

It's only 3.30pm, so I'm not gonna do the 'good thing', yet.
I napped, which was nice, but I didn't get to ride my bike....and why? Because I was dead tired and lazy as fuck, lol.
