Solicitude
n. 1. care or concern for someone or something.

I'm one lucky fucking bastard. I am. I actually said that to someone the other day, and they gave me the most intense WTF look. So, I've got cancer for the second time in my life, I'm bald, I'm sick, and I look like something out of a reject B-Grade horror film. I'm not having many good days right now, and time is sort of all melting in together right now with the only yardstick being chemo appointment to chemo appointment. There isn't even really much of a day or night. There is pain, a little less pain, and pain that I can maybe finally get some sleep with. I'm having one of those days where I can wonder how anyone can take their good health for granted. But at the same time realising I will never, ever take anyone I love or care about for granted. Not when they have shouldered all this for me when I haven't been strong enough to hold up myself.

( Especially my husband... )

Emilio had been relieved to hear he could call the rehab place Cole was checked into to check on how he was doing. It was something family had the luxury of, and Jax being Jax, lied through his teeth and told them Emilio was Cole's fiancé but had been in hospital with a bad case of salmonella so wasn't able to be there in person to get any instructions to family members and that was why he sent his brother on his behalf. He was glad he at least had a port of call to be able to follow Cole's progress because he would have no access to communication with anyone external to the treatment program during the detox phase. As tempting as it was to ring every second hour for a progress report, he had waited until Cole had been in there three nights and then called up to see how he was doing.

( Cole wasn't doing well... )

Waking slowly, even taking a few attempts to manage to get his eyes open, it took a little while for Noah to realise he was in a different room to before. His head was aching, so the brighter room was starkly obvious to him and it caused him to squint, blinking a few times to try to get his bearings. He didn't even know that two and a half days had passed with him sleeping the hours away after over a week fighting the ice withdrawal. He still felt rotten, but it wasn't even in the same realms of rotten as before. His body felt heavy and exhausted, an ache all over his head feeling like it wasn't going to go away any time soon, and a nausea stuck inside him like a broken record that wouldn't quit.

( The rails of the hospital bed were up and he had light straps around his arms and another belt-like one over his middle, but they weren't like the restraints he had before... )

Day Two. Not a good day or a happy day or any kind of productive day. Today was a day of cold tiles and feeling like death. I’ve been at the brink of it whole lot of times so I know how it feels. If I had felt good enough to make it all the way out the front door, I probably would have. So thank God for small favors? Still not sure on that one.

( Between all this, I wanted to call someone just to hear their voice )

The past few days - or nights, rather - had been restless for Xavier. He had things on his mind and he had a tendency to brood through things. He wasn't audacious, by any means. He was more of the cool, calm and collected sort, much to the often stereotypical traits of his Clan. It was also another reason why Greg had proven to be the Yin to his Yang. They could truly be polar opposites more often than not, and it went with Xavier's true belief that soul mates were not intended to match, but compliment both each other's strengths and their weaknesses with a bold balance to build a sturdy foundation of literally forever together.

( When he got into one of these 'moods', as Greg would simple put it, there was only one thing that could really placate and soothe him... )
