I am going to start filtering some of my more private musings. Since blogger does not have a tool for that, you will need to visit my Live Journal and ask to be friended there. I will continue to post Daily Gratitude and other subjects here. There is also a FAQ for my Journal at the same link.
| Friday, November 08, 2002 @ 12:38 My boi's mother is in the hospital. Intensive care. She had a heart attack last Saturday night and then another Tuesday night. She had bypass surgery yesterday morning and flatlined afterward. They were able to revive her, but her lungs and heart are weaker than those of most 71 year-olds. She will be in intensive care for days and rehab for weeks before they let her go home. All this providing she doesn't give up fighting. In which case we'll be dealing with a funeral instead of hospital visits. Needless to say, this has been a very, very stressful time. In normal time, this would be difficult to handle. However, I've been unemployed for over a month and the few interviews I'm getting called in for aren't getting anywhere. Money is definitely an issue -- and fast becoming a critical one. Additionally, attempts at character assassination created high levels of stress a week before the first heart attack. This is not an easy time for us. Individually we have a history of falling apart in the last quarter of the year. Together we're counting on each other's strength and observational skills to keep us on an even keel. We're definitely proving that we are 1) stronger and 2) better together than we ever were apart. Still, it's difficult -- sometimes overwhelming. I have tremendous amounts of faith in us as individuals and as a couple. We will prevail and the foundation of this relationship is the trust, honesty, and happiness we have together -- however buried that happiness may be under stress, fear, and pain right now.
