So, my mother is once again in the hospital (she was admitted last week). The doctors can't get her breathing under control and overall can't seem to figure out what is going on with her.

I swear, 2022 has been one long Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop.

Oh, God, I hope she is all right. Keeping you and your mom in my thoughts.

Thanks. The thing that was really aggravating me is that none of my relatives told me exactly where she had been admitted or the phone number to call her. I've been waiting for someone to give me contact information.

Finally my aunt emailed a little while ago with the hospital phone and room number.

It's tough because the bulk of my relatives disowned me for moving west with my husband instead of leaving him to go back east and move in with my parents. Other than my mother, my aunt is the only relative who still speaks to me. So getting information at times like this is very difficult.

Wow. Marriage means being with your spouse.

So your mom is able to talk?

No not really. Her vocal cords are still partially paralyzed.

I just got off the phone with her, and she sounds bad. She can't talk above a whisper, and she can only say one word every five or six seconds. It's was very difficult to understand her.

Last week the doctors wanted to perform surgery to remove her gallbladder, but now they are saying it's too dangerous. Right now the priority is to figure out why she's having trouble breathing. For some reason they can't figure that out even with all the tests they've done.

Hopefully they will find it soon.

I hope so.

She was very difficult to understand and I didn't want to ask her to repeat herself, but there was a note of defeat in her voice. If she makes it to October she'll be 83, she's had a lot of heartache and now has a lot of medical problems. At one point it sound like she said life was too difficult and that she's had enough.

I feel for her. I really really wish that people who are good had long happy lives.

I found a wonderful quote from Tolkien, "The birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus means that one day everything sad will come untrue."

I hope to see that day soon.

That's beautiful. I need to put that on a bookmark or something.

Oh, so do I. With the way the world is becoming so insane I feel like everything in the Book of Revelations is about to jump off the pages.

It's shocking what is being normalized these days and violence is an acceptable way to take care of problems.

Here's the pic with the quote

Ah, thank you. I'm saving that one. It should go someplace where I'll regularly see it.

I know. The other day I mentioned to my husband that my grandparents would be shocked if it were possible for them to see the way things are now. They wouldn't recognize this country.
