*Finally* got my mother out of that rotten hospital and back home, where I can see a marked improvement already. I have hope now that I will be able to wean her off the ventilator (got my unofficial respiratory therapist badge) in a few weeks or months, but I'm pretty much writing off the holidays, as I don't think we will be in any mood or condition for celebrations (although my mother can eat specially prepared food with the trach).
I have to catch up on a few emails and lj mails (yes, I know I keep mentioning this, it's a bit of a mental tic of mine, I feel bad if I don't acknowledge that I still plan on answering ppl XD). Not going to be posting anything else personal here unless it's to say something like the weaning has worked. Just don't feel like writing too much about life now, since I have to be with my mother 24/7 while she is on the vent, and depression is kicking in hard at times. Will still be commenting and posting in other journals and still writing fan fics, although I may not keep up to date posting them in my lj. They'll be on ff.net and sometimes aff.net and other journals. Also still doing scans for Nakama and Valkyrie Scanlations, plus maybe having a dreamwidth journal to post scans I've done that no group has claimed for use. Also a myriad of other little projects to occupy my thoughts, if I actually feel like doing any of these things...(![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small}
yuletide definitely though)
Thanks again for everyone's good wishes throughout this hard time ^_^

Thank you again to all the well wishers who have commented or mailed on any of my posts, I appreciate your good thoughts and prayers.
Special thanks to the wonderfulenemyfrigate and bittenfeld; even though I don't know you outside of lj, I love ya like I did <3
Advanced thank yous to any future comments, as I'm not sure if there will be WiFi in the rehab hospital we are headed to next, after the trach operation tomorrow evening.
And advanced sorries if I forgot someone or something I was supposed to be doing ><;
*hugs to all*

Things are just so much worse now, I know I am going to looked at as being despicable or a conartist now and probably will never use livejournal again, but I need help desperately.
They are going to give me mother a TRACHEOSTOMY and a feeding tube in her STOMACH, things she said she never ever wanted, so she is crying and I am a hysterical mess. Then she is going to a long term care hospital for WHO KNOW HOW LONG. And it's FAR away from my house--I will be driving back and forth each day, and I can't do that unless I have our van fixed, which is at least $1200. While it is getting fixed I need to rent a car, and that will get expensive if it's more than a week. Plus my dog is boarding at a kennel and still being treated for kidney disease and I still have to pay all the household bills AND I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY.
I know a lot is my fault, I guess I never expected to have to save for something like this, but I am trying to sell everything I own on eBay but I just need help. The state of NJ, well Essex county at least, SUCKS at helping out, they run out of funding for programs in like 2 weeks, they couldn't even help us out when our furnance broke and we were freezing, even though they have a whole program dedicated to that.
I am asking if anyone can help me out, a small donation, even a loan (I WILL pay it back, I can sign any legal papers you need), would be so much help. Please don't hate me for asking this. I am just at the end of my nerves and no one is here to help me, all my family is either far away or dead XD
If you can help at all, even just a dollar, please email me at venuspriestess@yahoo.com
I will make it up to you any way I can. I never want to beg, I know my mother would rather die before begging, but I need to get her through this without losing our house or anything like that. Thank you so much for reading this; if you want to "un-friend" me I completely understand, but please know I am serious and wouldn't ask if I hadn't tried every other avenue. Thank you.

I finally managed to break the hospital's WiFi firewall...somehow...to access my inbox. Thanks so much to everyone who wrote such nice wishes for my mother and me! Even if you didn't write, I appreciate any good thoughts you may have sent our way. I know I don't always write or comment when someone is havin a bad personal moment because I'm afraid I might say something wrong, but I'm going to try and do so from now on. My mom is still under sedation right now and I don't know how long we will be here. At this point I'm actually *living* in her room, as some unfortunate incidents have made me very untrustworthy of the hospital staff, so I'm sticking by her side.
Ah, I know Dissidia is out and I'm a little bummed I had to cancel my order, but once we are home I look forward to watching all the Youtube videos of the English cutscenes to fuel my writing of my 100 Terra/Cloud stories. A very nice fan of the pairing has translated what I wrote so far into Portuguese. Oh, and I hope to make an *animated* Terra (Dissidia) mood theme for lj. A Terra/Cloud one would be even more awesome, but I'd need people to upload some battle shots that actually look more lovey/silly/other emotions/etc *hint hint* There will be Dissidia yaoi doujinshi and reg doujinshi goodness for ya!
And so this isn't too much of a bittersweet post, here is some hotness, who incidently will be at the NY Comic Con, which would be incredible to attend:
( I love how I can't find the T in his name XD )
Still have to scan the letters page from Outside with my letter about TK and black out their embarrasing title (taylorkitsch knows all the details ;)
Still working on getting to comments, but that's another firewall hoop to jump through, silly hospital trying to keep their staff from livejournal and other sites! XD

I saw it on Route 46 near the 24 hour IHOP and was WTF?!?! because they never said anything about an opening in Northern NJ. NOW I WON'T BE JEALOUS WHEN I SEE THE SONIC COMMERCIALS ANYMORE! Of course, it was crowded and there were cops all over the place, so I can't *actually* go there until things dies down :/

So YouTube won't let me upload this because it's about 3 minutes too long :(
I think it will work this time!
If it looks weird watching the video here on lj you can also go to the direct link.
Since this is my first attempt, I hope it is at least halfway decent ^^;
It's an AMV all about my fave Dissidia OTP, Terra and Cloud!ETA: Why did YouTube have this coming in at over 13 minutes and here it's only like 5? WTF did I do wrong, if indeed I did do something wrong? I uploaded the same exact file on both sites...ARGGHHH! SMASH!!!!
OK now it looks like YouTube uploaded it ok on the second try...I...I need some sleep. Link has been updated above. Enjoy wherever you watch!

*Finally* S-E has decided to grace us with a Magitek Armor figure!!! Granted, I would have preferred a much larger statue-esque model, but then I probably couldn't afford it. I cannot WAIT until these figures are for sale! And once the rest of the Dissidia figures come out, I can die happily!
