My mom just called me and told me my grandma fell and broke her leg. She's 80. She's had a stroke. She didn't walk all that well to begin with. She's obese.
What if she never walks again? She won't last very long.
Fuck.

I'm so sorry, Ka. *hugs*
I got four hours of sleep last night, trying to rearrange my flights into something halfway decent. I think I did okay. Now I just hope to god Delta doesn't cancel it. If they do, it'll be my fifth cancelled flight.

Jesus Christ... just about all I can say. Today was Taylor's cousin's first day of showing. We're there and I leave my phone in the car. After it lets out and everyone says their goodbyes, I get in the car and check my phone. I see a message from my mom saying, 'call me asap'. I call only to find out MY 20 year old cousin has died of a drug overdose WHILE I'M AT A SHOWING FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS PASSED FROM A DRUG OVERDOSE... It's official, this week cannot get any worse.

She won't last very long. Fuck. So sorry Ka.  Same thing happened to my grandma. She fell and broke her leg probably 3 months after Violet was born... she never walked again & just withered away pretty much. She had osteoporosis and her leg wasn't healing well & she had to have a couple surgeries and with old people, I don't know, it's like part of their brain dies every time they go under general anesthesia. She just got worse and worse and worse. Pretty much the last 9-12 months she lay in a bed barely conscious. When she was awake, she was delusional and talking about airplanes in the garage and hearing kids run around the house & kept calling out for Jesus and her mother to help her. It was the single worst thing I had to witness in my entire life. I felt so awful for her & really should've felt relieved when she died a couple of months ago, but I still can't get over the person she was BEFORE she fell. One stupid little thing was the end of her life. It still makes me cry to just think about her. Now I feel shitty for saying all of this because I don't want to scare you about your grandma... just wanted to say that I understand your worries and I hope that your grandma recovers really well from her injury. |

Dear wife of my childhood friend: SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY.
Every single day I see this girl bitching on Facebook about how miserable it is and how awful it is that she has to work and be away from her kids and how great stay-at-home-moms have it. And today: "no family should have to work four jobs just to survive".
No, no they shouldn't. But PERHAPS if you were tight on money you shouldn't have had a second baby (planned, of course) and bought a new house. And you knew before you married the guy that he had a distaste for condoms and thus had a one-night-stand baby that he had to pay child support for every month for the next 16 years.
Stop pissing & moaning about your life when you did it to yourself.
I'd have a little sympathy if your husband lost his job or if you ran into unexpected expenses you couldn't afford. You just decided to start spending more money than you had.

Maybe one day I'll be able to go a day without mood swings, headaches, uncontrollable limb jerking, sadness, and anxiety.
Usually I have at least one of more of these a day. It's very annoying to me and can't be any more pleasant to those around me.

Now I feel shitty for saying all of this because I don't want to scare you about your grandma... just wanted to say that I understand your worries and I hope that your grandma recovers really well from her injury. She's doing okay now...she's in rehab, and hopefully she works really hard and can do well enough to still live in her home. Her femur was broken in the middle and it was a clean break so no reconstruction or hip problems. I kept talking to her after she came out of surgery because I was so nervous something was going to happen to her, and she told me to shut my mouth so she could sleep or she was going to slap the ever-loving shit out of me. So, her mind's okay. We're mostly hopeful. John, that's so awful; I'm sorry. |
