Nice poem BBA. Thanks for stopping by RMG. FIB and ISLH, thanks. Glad you found me John; I was scolded by several folks for moving here.
Rain here and damp cold. Blaaaa. WCW is getting snow, as is IamTJ!
Mom is hanging in. I talked to a lung specialist yesterday and he said he sees improvement since she checked in but the whole team of docs are still concerned since they expected more improvement than they have seen. They are going to take some lung tissue tomorrow to see if the pneumonia is masking something more serious. But the doc said he did not think that was the case and that she just has very bad pneumonia. He thought she would get better.
Mom is very uncomfortable. Bed sores and a secondary infection are adding to her problems. I am getting the "please God, take me" talk. Very depressing.
As sick as she is, my mom wanted to talk about me and W. She is put out with W for not coming to see her. She went on and on how she treated W "like a daughter" and "now look". "I was so good to her and she can't even come for 10 minutes on her lunch break". My mom does not understand why the D. "What did you do to her? There must be someone else. W doesn’t know what she wants. She does not know what real trouble is". Then she got serious and told me to find someone else. "Whatever you did Jeff, W has no right to treat you and the kids this way. You are still a young man - think of yourself, find a nice girl, don't be alone."
My mom’s illness brings things into focus. How important life is and how my focus on my R really is not. How some people love no mater what and some choose not to. How we must focus on the future and not the past. How we must assess the present and use our assessment to move on.
I really like my mom. I hope she sticks around. Bless her heart.
