the desire to open the sims is growing stronger but not stronger than my desire to suffer through the long dark challenges
So, shit has met the fan again
My dad is back in the hospital and is in critical condition with little chance of recovery. Due to negligence on behalf of the hospital he has lost his leg and a portion of his heart and kidneys to sepsis. My mother and I are once again forced to take time off to not just deal with him, but also to prepare a lawsuit.
We are possibly adjacent to the Mount Caramel Hospital negligence cases pouring in, as my dad was under that doctors care when his rapid decline began.
In addition... my uncle passed suddenly and without warning last week, leaving my family devastated emotionally and financially. Any little bit helps while we try to pick up the pieces and determine where to go from here

illness and death discussion under the cut
we went to celebrate my grandmaās 80th birthday in late july.
two weeks later we found out she had breast cancer.
two weeks ago we found out that the cancer has spread too quickly and too much to be treatable and sheād be placed in hospice care.
this past wednesday i got a call from my mom while i was on a business trip that the hospice nurse said that āitās only a matter of daysā.
i said goodbye to her on the phone today. im just waiting for the call that sheās gone and iām just so tired. sheās the strongest woman i know, and to have her in the state that sheās in rn is just tearing me apart.
