Thanks for asking about my sister. She's not doing well at all. It seems that her equilibruim is gone, and she keeps falling. Although I understand that they have her in diapers now, she keeps getting up to go to the bathroom at night, and falls. Recently she hit her head and opened an almost-healed wound that she had suffered earlier. Apparently, Doris is now wheelchair-ridden. Damn!!
I talked to 'someone' at the nursing home yesterday, and I got pretty much no information from her. Not that she was withholding info, I just think that she must have been one of the lower-paid-help - not too bright. The DON won't be back at work until Monday or Tuesday, and I will call again then. I also need to answer the several e-mails from my nephew who has (bless his so-called heart) been keeping me inside the loop about his mother's condition. Apparently he does not see fit to go see her at this time, although he suggested to me that it might be an excellent time for me to visit.
Anyway, I did start a letter to him last week and saved it to the hard drive. Then, my computer went belly-up, and I was without it for five days. My fourteen-year-old grandson mowed for me on Wednesday and I asked him to look at it for me, since I'm one of those old ladies who, when I get down on the floor, I have much trouble getting up. It was a kind of funny scenario when I was trying. I guess Gracie (little dog) thought I got down to play with her, so she complicated the "getting up" process by getting in my face.
I did send Doris some pink M n' Ms. They were pink to recognize breast cancer awareness month. Doris and our older sister Inez, plus our mother all have had left-sided mastectomies. And, Dex - I do understand where your friend is coming from. Our mother was eighty-four years old when she had her breast removed, and she wasn't a bit happy about it. I think her statement was something like, "After all these years, I have to lose my breast."
By the way, I only have two "full" sisters. And they have both had breast cancer. Our mother and older sister are deceased, but did not die from breast cancer. My chances of leaving this world "breasts-intact" seem mightly slim.
Enogh boob talk for one day.
