So......

I do okay when it's me.
Not so much when it's the one sister that I remain connected to as my family.

Swollen tongue--originally she was told to schedule an appointment with and ENT and she ended up in the ER because her spousal unit didn't think waiting until Monday was the right plan.
The CT showed a growth on the tongue and they're waiting to biopsy it--potentially today. That was the last text at 4am this morning.
It vibrated through the night as she spent 9 hours in the ER waiting, testing and waiting some more. They finally admitted her at 2am her time.
*sigh*

I really do okay when it's me.
I wrap my head around what needs done, how to present it and what I need to do...one step at a time.
I don't know how to do it with her. She got all the 'nice' genes. She's nothing BUT a loving human being.

Wait. Buy time. Don't try to borrow troubles......and try to just do what's in front of me, I guess.
There's a lot to do--an additional 7-10 inches of snow yesterday means a bit of snow removal.
I'll do that.

Hi Mel,
That is horrible. I have ERs but, when you got to go, you got to.
I hope that things will be ok for your sister.

I know what you mean... because one is family is that we inherited the same genes in just about everything.

I take it from experience; don't wait until a health crisis to make amends to a family memebr. It happened to me last year. It was one back icky thing that gave a good thing back...

I sent those Better Angels home to help out your sister. I also sent a few that I had hangin' around too. I'll pray.
We only got an inch of snow. Hardly more than that on the ground right now up here. Cold though.
Celebrating littlest Grand daughter's birthday today. BBQ tonight. Been lazy, so no posts on my end and no visits to yours, but all is okay. More prayers.

Peace

I so know what you mean about doing okay when it's me, because I'm the same way. However, when it involves someone I love, it's unbearable.

Sending MUCH love and energy your sister's way, Mel.

Can't say how much I feel for you and your sister. I do though.
