Cracking up

[watervole]

I'm pretty near breaking point today.

Rosalie (for new readers - my youngest sister was diagnosed with stomach cancer
five weeks ago and it's usually fatal) - is so weak now that they can't even
give her the normal dose of chemo this week. If they aren't able to fit a stent
(to allow food past the tumour into the deodenum) then that's probably it.

I tried to phone one of my other sisters - she was out.

Tried to call my mum - too busy to talk (translation - too stressed to talk
about it)

Tried to call Ros at the hospital - couldn't get through.

Left a message on brother-in-law's phone asking if the hospital would let me
visit if I wore a mask or something to reduce the risk of infection - this damn
throat infection still hasn't cleared.

I want to see my sister.

I WANT TO SEE MY SISTER!

Arrgh, I'm sorry. :( Poor Rosalie! I hope they'll let you in to see her with a mask...

I wish there was something I could do to help.

I'm so sorry.

Oh ****hugs****

I can't imagine how much this is hurting. I hope you can see her; my prayers for both/all of you (I hope you don't mind).

I'm an athiest, but I certainly won't turn down an offer of prayer. I know Rosalie spoke to the hospital chaplain yesterday.

Damn, damn, damn.

Maybe you can talk to the hospital itself?

Best of luck getting in for a visit. (Seems likely they'll let you, if you scrub well on the way in and wear a mask, especially if you're not running a fever.)

Oh, Judith! *hugs*

I know we don't know eachother well, so hope you don't mind me commenting. I'm so sorry to hear about your sister, and what you're going through. Will be thinking of you, if that means anything at all.

Just found out you had a LJ

Sorry to hear about your sister - the human frame is so frail and yet the spirit so strong. Be strong for her Judith! You have my thoughts and (pagan)prayers
