She lost. The women's final will be between Serena Williams and Garbine Muguruza. Luckily Andy Murray is in the men's final. He will play Novak Djokovic.

Alex, you'll be pleased to know that Feliciano Lopez is in the final of the men's doubles.

Andy Murray lost too. At least Feliciano Lopez and Marc Lopez won the men's doubles.

Who's looking forward to Euro 2016?

[One Thing Remains]

wow 2 years is a long time

I'm not sure what Euro 2016 is

[Sulieter]

Yes, although 4 years is the maximum so it's not as severe as it could have been

Euro 2016 is a football (soccer) competition. Like the World Cup but just for European teams.

*resurfaces from the deepest fog*

Hola. Once again, sorry about disappearing. I promise I'm not enjoying playing the ghost.
I thought the worse was behind us last month, but I guess I spoke too fast/was too optimistic. We went to do what was supposed to be a final check up on the last week of May, and found out that unfortunately my mother's brain haemorrhage hadn't fully stopped as the previous exams seemed to indicate, and the internal bleeding needed to be taken care of with a drainage because its size had become dangerous.
She was supposed to have a surgery marked as emergency the morning right after the brain scan came in, but of course (because when you're lucky, you're really lucky), first the operation was delayed due to the neurosurgeons being held up all day by more dangerous cases who needed emergency surgeries as well, and then, by night, they found out that my mom had a fever, so it was too risky to take her to the operating room.
They had to do more tests to determine what caused the fever and make it go away with meds so she could be cleared for the operation. It took over a week (it turned out that she got an urinary system infection, likely caused by the catheter she had to use during our first stay at the hospital), and that was the worse part of the whole ordeal because the hematoma's pressure started to affect the mobility of the left side of her body and every day added more risk to the situation.
I could've cried for joy the moment the fever went down enough to make it so that the doctors could reschedule the surgery - which went well, thankfully, and now she seems finally ok, following a program designed to prevent the internal bleeding from coming back again.

I apologise for the second round of radio silence. I'm back now, and by Monday should start posting around on a daily basis again.
Many thanks for the patience and for keeping the place alive.

I hope everything goes well from now on, Fran.
