Another blog post from my phone. This time I am not fishing though, I am in the car going to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. My mom has an appointment with an endocrinologist and will possibly be getting a separate opinion in a Philadelphia hospital depending on what they tell her today. It just sucks having to travel 2 to 3 hours for a good doctor because doctors in Delaware are horrible.

Her surgery is on September 14th. She is having more than half her lung removed. They aren’t sure how long recovery will be, but they say that normally it is 6 months to a year. We will be going back to NY to grab some more clothes, our main computers and our dog and then staying for an extended period of time.

I know I hated Delaware when I lived here, it’s weird that I actually sort of miss it now that I don’t live here anymore. It isn’t even like I grew up here, I’m a Jersey boy, so to miss this backward state seems weird.

I have 2 sites I need to get the ball rolling on, 2 others that need to be done, I have nothing done for Leps Lair or Lepcode, my new business based site. I am thinking about doing a new blog over there for business related ventures, of course this blog would pretty much stay the staff blog or whatever thiis will officially become. I have a few ideas, I just need to execute them. I have a lot of ideas that I haven’t had time or inspiration to execute.

No word on the surgery for mom yet. I think they may be calling tomorrow. I guess depending on when it is, recovery time, time she’ll be in the hospital, etc will determine when we go home and either rest for a few days and come back, or just go home and stay there. There is just a lot of unknown at the moment and it sucks.

I am lucky that Kris and I don’t have conventional jobs where we need to be there, otherwise I think this whole thing would be a hell of a lot harder to deal with. I don’t want to deal with it either way obviously,  but it is what it is I guess.

We came down o Delaware in late June. We have stayed here ever since because my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer. She’s having surgery in the next couple of weeks, because it was discovered she has emphyzema and can’t do radiation.

It has been a very hard couple of weeks as I am sure you can imagine. She has been researching ever supposed cure for cancer there is, from some CAAT diet to cannibus oil. She even wanted to breathe in baking soda since it is opposite of sugar which is what cancer is attracted to. In theory it is a good idea, in reality I don’t think it would do much good.

The last few weeks has really been tough, but with the surgery and recovery and everything coming up, I imagine things will be getting much harder. I think I will be using this as an outlet more and more, considering I have been sitting staring at a screen trying to work and nothing is produced.

If I could concentrate and get things produced I could have a lot done for work and for Leps Lair which I want to turn into a nerd hub and entertainment social network. I have ideas of expanding the adult section with a sex advice, tube section, etc, plus removing sections and putting them on my new site which should hopefully be finished soon.

Unfortunately I haven’t had the inspiration. Even right now I am at the pier, fishing, drinking beer, and my mind will not stop. Anyone have any advice or any ideas on this?
