The Aortic Valve/Surgery Surge

These past two days for me have been almost life-changing, although I can't say I've done much to change anything yet in my current situation.
I found out I guess it was a couple nights ago, maybe two, that my Mom's Dad was getting serious surgery in the hospital--given, I'm not currently in touch with my mom as it's been two years since I've seen or even talked to her last, so it makes it a little more difficult for me to do anything, really.
With this, a day before I found out the hospital situation, I got back in touch with Uncle Kevin, which was nice. He showed me his new house and we caught up with eachother (keeping drama Out of conversation).
But anyway...don't know what to do lately; it sucks when you know exactly where your head's at but you can't really take any action you feel is right for you (even when it isn't so right for someone else--i.e. telling my mom my side of growing up everything, she would have a heart attack).
Big sigh.
Too bad it's not a nice day out today...I really wanted to go to the beach on my day off.
Maybe I should drink some lemonade.
