I know just what you mean, Susan. My mother passed away at 78 and I felt so cheated because all the grandparents and greats lasted into their 80s and 90s. I felt my mother should have gotten at least that long too. But, as you say, not rational. Now, I'm just so glad I had my mother the time I did.

What is even happening?
Unlike meara, and Debet, I have no cake. Enough said about that.
Anne, I am gobsmacked at the stuff your mother had to put up with. I hope she's getting some peace, now.
And I'm right with you, Susan and Sail. My dad was just a month shy of 75. It might not be rational, right or whatever, but it is there, and it just is what it is, I think.
I'm glad your mom has some plans. My mother was careful to stay active. It doesn't fix anything, but I think it's a good preventative, if that makes any sense.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Oh, I don't get to eat the cake until tomorrow (end of term party). It smells really good, though

I also think of what my parents were cheated out of: neither of them got to see their grand-daughter.

Oh sumi, that's so sad. I'm sorry.
Stephanie, I'd gone to the next page, and then left to have supper and forgotten I'd read your response. I hope things get easier between you and your dad.

Cindy - I must admit that I worry that my niece doesn't have enough relatives. Luckily her mother's parents live close by - - so she at least has some grandparents.
(My other brother's stepdaughter, on the other hand, has a plethera of relatives, including 6 grandparents.)

Hey. New board.
I would like cake, too. I do not have any, however. Mayhaps I will run across the street and buy cookies.
Or just eat a piece of bread with honey on it. Cake substitute!

Thrive to spite them
I have a question for medically types.
Dad's been taking blood thinners because of his heart attack and staying away from vitamin K becuase of his heart attack and blockage. But he bleeds and bleeds and bleeds and then bleeds some more at the slightest injury.
Yesterday he came over and his ear was bleeding, he said he'd been talking on the phone and when he put the phone down there was blood all over it. Also earlier this week he bumped his hand on the door knob and ended up bleeding all over the place.
Is this normal? I suggested he double check with the doctor, but he can be stubborn. It doesn't seem normal that he could bleed that much from just a little cut.
