[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Oh, man. {{{{{amyth}}}}} I'm glad to see an update from you, but I'm so sorry the news is so bleak. God, your poor SiL. Does she have a good local support network? Friends, coworkers, other family members?
Oh, and good timing with the knee thing, too! WHAT.
Oh, amyth. A million billion hugs and vibes to you, your brother, your sister-in-law and nephew. And a thunderous cluesticking to your middle brother. I'm so, so sorry for all this pain and loss, and that middle brother is being so thoughtless and clueless and severely making nothing better.
Many, many vibes, and all the strength and coping~ma I've got to spare, to all of you.
amyth, my heart breaks for you and your family. Much strength and peace to you all.

Actually, one good thing is that my SiL has a MASSIVE Irish Catholic family up there. They all call each other multiple times a day.
When my knee was so bad last week that I had to call her and say that there was no way I could make it via subway and train from Queens to Smithtown, she called me back and said that she had a cousin in Queens who just happened to be a retired NYC bus driver, who knew exactly where my friends' apt. was, and that he's be by to pick me up in a couple of hours to drive me out to her house, which is not a short drive. She has family EVERYWHERE.
amyth, I am so, so sorry to hear all of this. Much strength to you and your SIL and family.
And I will HAPPILY thwap your middle brother with a large skillet for you. Major compassion FAIL.
That's a wonderful thing, amyth. ETA: That she has family everywhere, engaged and willing to support. So many vibes for you and her and the nephew for strength and courage.
((((amyth))))
And tell your middle brother, "If you can't be upset when your husband is in a coma and almost certainly dying, when can you be?"
Oh, man. {{{{{amyth}}}}} I'm glad to see an update from you, but I'm so sorry the news is so bleak.
Kate said this beautifully.
I am really glad she has family that is close in terms of miles and in terms of emotions. Really, that is so helpful during times like this.
My thoughts are with them and with you, my dear. And I am really glad you are posting, even with sad news.
Oh, amyth. (((amyth))) VERY MUCH ~ma for your entire family. And I hope the surgery goes well for you next week.
