The story I tell myself is that she was so prim that she simply didn't want me watching the hardest part.
My mom was the same. I was sitting up with her but hadn’t had a shower in days. as soon as I stepped away to take a five minute shower, she finally let go.
JZ is a strong person, and, I daresay, has so much she can’t bear to leave behind. I wish her the peace of mind she needs. You spend so much time fighting for every second of life. it can be hard to let go.
When Grandma e finally passed we were there with her in the room but we weren't with her exactly in the moment. We had been focused on her and then someone said something and we got caught up in laughing about a memory and then my uncle's wife realized Grandma E had passed. It was kind of a there but not there moment.
It feels odd to say that I hope that JZ's body catches up soon but I don't want her or any of you to be distressed.
Dana I'm sorry you are dealing with the BS of the medical industry.
Mom has been fighting for months with her insurance over her shots for her knees. Somehow the last time the doctors office either coded something wrong or the insurance changed something because the insurance is only approving for the injection but not the actual medicine. The medicine is the expensive part and no one can really tell her what happene that was different the last time.
Also she needs knee surgery but her duplex has steps up and the landladies have said they can't put in a ramp for..reasons...I told her she needs to talk to her doctor about this before they think about scheduling surgery.
Pissed me off that he waited for me to leave, but the nurses said my will was keeping him there.
Same.
but most times, there is no reason in our understanding at all

I am convinced to my soul that the only reason humans (notoriously inefficient evolutionary agents) have survived at all is due to our ability to tell ourselves stories.
My therapist and I made a solid plan for me to deal with some house stuff that has been weighing on me, and I feel so much better.
I’m out doing last minute back to school stuff with ltc.
My brain is a sweet potato today. Ugh. The physical therapist is here working with Tim, and I need to get work done, and my brain is a sweet potato.
I don't know what's wrong with me, but I slept a lot last night and am still out of it. I had to talk for 5 minutes in a staff meeting this morning, knew what I wanted to say, had notes written down! Totally blanked for 10 seconds before I started.

That's what I mean by "sweet potato brain." But my brain was too much of a sweet potato to be able to articulate it.
ION, I got my period today for the first time in 3 months, and I am pissed about it. That 3-month stretch (plus the fact that I am 52 goddamn years old) gave me hope it was gone for good.
