It took so long to get information on my DIL's mother's condition -- I was afraid it would be bad news. And it is, and I was knocked for a loop. She has bile duct cancer and is meeting with a surgeon today to see if the tumor can be removed. I looked it up online, and shouldn't have. Apparently, it rare for this type of tumor to be removable, and the survival rates are quite low.
She is more than my DIL's mother -- she has become my good friend, and she is deeply loved by my grandchildren. I am just heartsick.
After work today I'm going to take her some potato soup and beef stroganoff. She does not cook much, and might appreciate some homemade comfort food.
Don't know what is going to happen with the cruise.
I am meeting with a pet care supplier on Sunday, in case the cruise goes ahead as planned.
It is turning very, very cold here, after our first big snowfall. Between that, my cold, and this bad news, I am feeling overwhelmed and despondent.

Regarding the cruise, did you all purchase insurance? In a case like this, it would sure qualify to cancel/refund. On the other hand, if you don't end up going and don't have insurance, the airline may issue a credit. Not sure what the cruise line will do, perhaps, they would be understanding and issue a credit also.
