A few updates. 1st things first. I took all the keys off my keyboard to clean under it. I have a few to still put on and i think i broke a few so my typings less than desirable at the moment. the past few months have been a bit rough, although certainly interesting in some places! I am literally broke and am late on another health insurance payment. But I have a promising job offer at wait for it................my mom and sisters church! Theyve actually called me to set up an interview, which went really well. I REALLY WANT THIS JOB. Our cars are almost caput. I love our caddie, but its making a noise that my mom wont even drive it. The minivan is drivable, but the heat doesnt work and my dad needs it for business trips. *faceslap* I really wish we could just have horses; more fun, actually requires skill to opereate and maintenance is so much cheaper! I had my first accident last month. I rear ended a woman who was making a right turn and I was looking so that I could switch lanes. Thank the gods, she was very nice and I enjoyed talking to her while the cops came. And a bystander even saw and called the cops for us. Plus, the cop that came was really cute. But i still feel like a menace to society! This happened while my mom was out of town taking care of my grandpa in st louis, 3 hours away. About a week later, a quite interesting event took place! My dad ended up in the hospital. Im posting that story after this. He was pitiful and out of commission for a few days and still has a huge bruise where he fell. The last is the hardest on me. My grandfather is reaching his end of days. This man is most dear to me and gave me an incredible source of comfort when i had none other. His kidneys have ceased to function and uses a catheter now. In the past few years his heart failure has accumulated water around his stomache, lungs and legs, which is quite uncomfortable for him. The lasix seems to be working. They took it off him for a while after his kidneys got in trouble. My mother and grandfather are really feeling it. And im feeling it from them. its like an itch i cant scratch. i want to comfort them but i cant. my mother is much closer to my grampa than she was to her mother. grandma was a great grandmother but a bit unpleasant mother. This is going to be so much harder on my mother. This is a woman, while a bit homophobic and judgmental at times, of great compassion and i could not ask for a better mother. We want to get him through christmas at least. (my whole family, except my brother whos an atheist, is either lutheran or presbyterian) My hope is that he goes as easily as possible. THe hardest thing is watching someone die gasping for breath. Thats how my mom watched my gramma go and i watched our rescue dog go that way. I pray thats not how he goes.
