He's in the Hospital...

Hey guys. So... You're probably confused about what I mean by the title of this post. Like, "Who's in the hospital? What?". Okay, so before I go into that, let me go into the positives. I know that Gamer's birthday is coming up soon (as is going to be my age o-o lol) and has lots of good news. So uh... good for you! I mean it. Uh... And these past few days, I've been spending all day, each day with my family- for the good, and for the not-so-good. The good is celebrating the New Year (I'm so epic that I celebrate 2 'New Years'. x3 jk) with my family. And good food. Nom. :P And for the not-so-good news? Well, let me go into that.

So... Before I actually continue this post, let me say this. This post is not going to be about AJ or my story AT ALL. 'Cause over all these months I've realized something. Real life is way better than spending time virtual worlds on a computer screen. We all only have one life (ever heard the phrase "Yolo"?), so let's make the most of it. Hmm... Hard to explain... *awkward silence O-O*

Have you ever noticed that when tragedy/disaster strikes the people close to you (such as family members, close friends- you know what I mean.. Right guys? I hope so..), it brings them closer together? Over these past few days, that has happened in my family. Especially today. So let me explain some stuff to you, people. (You guys are, in fact, 'people'. Correct?) From 'da very beginning'....

My grandfather on my dad's side of the family died long, long before I was born. Or any of my other siblings, in fact. He died when my dad was still a kid. Or maybe not exactly 'kid'. Still young.. Eh, you get my point. (You better.. >:V) My dad and grandmother had a pretty tough life, to tell you guys the truth. Because before my dad's dad died (I think it was before... o-o), my dad's only other sibling, his brother, died. So umm yeah. Tough. Life. Yeah, life sucks at times. Life. So you're all probably all thinking, "Hey, person-called-Cutepups, what does this have to with anything? I don't care about your family's history. What is this? Umm.....". So now I have to say, "Hey, hey, hey. Hold your horses (another phrase thing), I'm getting there. Now WAIT!! :V" So then fast-forward some time from then. My grandmother found a second husband (omg this sounds like a biography... o-o). When I, myself, was like very little (I think I was alive back then.. o-o), he died. Yeah. Lots of deaths. Heart problems. O_O So then fast-forward a bit more time later, and then my grandma found someone else. And no, he's not like related to us or anything like that. They're not married or anything. Two separate families. (Omg wait! I'm getting there! >:V) So he's like my unrelated-grandfather. Because he spends so much time with my family and I that he's like a 'grandfather'. Confusing much?

So fast-forward to these past few days, from all the backstories of my family. Well, kind of. Y'know what I mean. So now I'm going to pause to let you guys comprehend the confusing information I just typed up ^^ :3) ............................................................................................................

The man that's like my 'unrelated grandfather' is now in his 90s. I think he's now 92...? And let me tell you guys this. Honestly, he does (or 'did' in this case :c) not act his age. He's always so happy and welcoming; basically a great guy to be around with. He even goes on adventurous trips with my grandma. I can't even begin to tell you guys. Especially in just one post. No matter the length. Ya.. So back to the main point of all this. That man is now in the hospital. So yeah. Lot of heart-breaking events these past few days. And remember when I was talking about how people come more close to each other (sympathetic, etc.) when disaster strikes. You guys might be a little too young to truly understand what that means if you haven't had any real close family member become... well, I'll tell you later on in this post. So if that's you, then think about all the world problems in different parts of the world. Like... I don't know... When we all stand up for someone/something when we know something's wrong. Like working to achieve that 'greater good'? (omg where is this going!?) So back on track now. His children are like isolated from each other, and almost never casually speak to each other in the same room anymore. But that changed today. They all came here today to 'achieve that common good.' To see their father. In.. well, a hospital.

So guys. Don't be so shocked, confused, or whatever if you don't see a comment that's all like, "WOOHOO! SUCH EPICNESS. LAWL. LOL!!!! XD :3 MERP. O3O" for the next few days. I'm still okay. Don't you worry, guys. Cutepups is still here. Yay! Because this is all heart-breaking news to my family and I. I can't even know how to begin to explain it all to you guys. Which is probably why you're all like so confused with this post. Like "What is this!?". Just admit it. You're probably thinking that when reading this. Maybe even this very sentence. Shocker! :O So now into what happened (or what I can explain, anyways.... ^-^)

On Thursday, he went to the hospital. (No, not the hospitals in my story. Lol no. Which brings me to this. I've never imagined in a thousand years that I'd somehow connect to the hospital scenes in my story. Like seeing a close family member/friend lay in a hospital bed- weak, not feeling like their usual selves.) So Thursday night and earlier today (Friday), my family and I visited him. It hurts when you see someone you know so well, be the entire opposite of their usual selves. Guys, it hurts. </3 No. I'm not going to go and complain about the poor hospital staff or whatever. Actually, we're shocked at how amazing it is. My grandma (who visits the hospital way more times than my immediate family does) said that he spent around 8 hours in just the ER. Got his own room and everything. You don't see that often. (Well, maybe where you live. Where I live... not as much.) So when my family and I visited the hospital the first time on Thursday, we arrived just when he got transferred (is that the right word? o-o) to his own actual room in the CCU (Critical Care Unit). And today (Friday) was like the same thing, except his children were with us this time, too.

This is what I've learned from all the hospital news and updates on him. So...

He now has only 25% kidney function. He has water under his lungs. He has low blood pressure and oxygen. He had a small heart attack yesterday. He's still currently conscious. He has a fever. He's on this thing called 'dialysis' (I think that's how it's spelled.. o-o). He has an infection. He has strep- that's much more severe than just a strep throat. Some infection-type thing in his blood. And there's a few more bad things to add on to this list that I've just forgotten/can't fully understand. Yeah. Very complicated. So yeah. I'm scared. We don't know how this all happened or anything. Like just on Sunday (at the wedding) he was totally fine. Dancing; enjoying himself. So this all crashed down very fast. (Again, this is extremely hard for me to explain.)

He usually actively participates during the holiday. And for him not being there and participating with us these past days. (Which has never occurred before) is a drastic change. Like... I don't know. Can't quite explain it better than that. Sorry guys. So yeah. This New Year's not as sweet as all the other ones. :(

So hopefully, he'll feel better soon. So yeah. That's what's going on in my life right now. My life isn't always happy things and thoughts. Nobody's is. Thanks so much for reading this. You deserve a pat on the back if you've read this entire post. Especially since it's not about AJ or anything like that at all, and just my life. Which doesn't connect/relate to any of you guys at all. I'm serious. Thanks so much. So... Take care. Bye.

PS: Hating on me and un-buddying me on AJ just because I don't go on as often nowadays doesn't help AT ALL. There's enough hatred in the world as it already is. (I'm saying this because that has happened to me countless times throughout my AJ experience. And you do know I have feelings, right.? Not like any of AJ players like that even know that I have a blog or anything in the first place. :I) So... That's pretty much it. Take care, guys. Peace!
