Yes, it is really sad. Especially because I truly think she's been clinically depressed for a very long time (runs in our family big time). She could have enjoyed her life so much more if she had been willing to get help, but she instead felt it was normal to be sad and hopeless all the time.
I don't know how to explain this exactly.. in some ways I am glad that she (sort of) has a "choice" now. If she has the minor surgery she will be way more comfortable, feel a lot better, and hopefully live quite a bit longer (her other problems are relatively minor). If not.. as sad as it is to think this, she can choose to die within the next few months. I hope the anti-depressants kick in so she can make that choice from a better frame of mind.
ST - I have no doubt the juice is better than vinegar!
Hope everyone's doing well. I still have almost no voice. Every so often I freak myself out because I'm trying to talk and nothing's really coming out - then all of a sudden one word or part of a word will be really loud. I guess that's progress! The flu/bug feels mostly gone - hopefully by the weekend I'll be somewhat back to normal. H has a race this weekend but I'm still iffy on going. I'd like to go but feel guilty with my grandma being sick. I don't think I'll be far enough past this bug to visit though (want to make sure I'm totally healthy and not going to pass anything on to her). It's only about 90 minutes away so I'll probably take the chance.
