So far so good

FIL made it through the surgery last night. They didn't even cut him open; just went up the uretha (YIKES!) and removed the tumor that way. There should be no more pee'ing blood since it was all coming from the tumor. They've sent it off for biopsy and will let him know when they find the results.

Apparently, one of my co-workers' father started his decline with bladder cancer. She says that if you have to have cancer, that's the best one to have. The walls of the bladder are so thick that the cancer does not usually spread easily to other organs. Unfortunately for her father, they did not follow up with chemo, as per standard procedures, and his cancer spread and killed him.

The A/C in my office is screwy on the best of days. With this nasty heat wave, it's been quite warm in the mornings and then freezing cold in the afternoons, to the point of having to turn it off for about an hour to warm up. Well today, it's a freaking oven in here. The thermostat says 78 degrees, but that's on the other side of the glass window, out in the lobby. I'd say it's at least 85 in my office. They said they were going to ck it out, but so far it doesn't feel any better in here. I don't mind the heat as much as most people (mom says I have piss for blood) but this is ridiculous.
