She's going to stay there another week. Her boss got her a wireless card, so she could work in case this happened. She's being driven crazy because everyone* but her dad smokes; they do it out on the enclosed porch, but they don't close the door into the house so what's the use? It's making her batshit crazy.
Her mom is a little better, but just a little. And she won't stop puttering, then she complains about her feet swelling. She doesn't seem to understand that she'll feel better if she'll just stay off her feet. Kathy is there to run the household -- that's not why she went home but that's what it's turned out to be. But mom just won't rest.
Her dad's okay . . . just okay. What can one say about fucking Alzheimer's? Suffice to say that her mom is overwhelmed with the burden, and one wonders how she goes on. I have no idea what that woman is running on, but she's a hundred pounds soaking wet, with emphysema (yet she smokes), congestive heart disease, colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and god knows what else. She's nearly eighty and she just keeps plodding along.
Please keep Kathy & her folks in your thoughts or prayers. Thanks to all my pals. :loveya:
* Mom, Kathy's two disabled brothers, who spend most of their days at mom's, her aunt, and her nephew.
