Subject: OT - A =very= difficult week
We got back from a pleasant weekend in Exeter around mid-day one week ago,
and the phone rang. It was my mother; my father (who had severe dementia)
had developed pneumonia, and wasn't expected to live long.
We did the laundry, re-packed, and the next morning were winging our way
to JFK. He died that morning, while we were on the plane. The funeral
was Saturday.
About 36 hours before the funeral, we phoned my father-in-law. His speech
was very slurred, and he was having trouble finding words. Long story
short, he was admitted to the hospital with a small stroke or big TIA
(transient ischemic attack). He's doing better, and should be going to
rehab in a day or two.
So yesterday we drove from New Haven (where my family is headquartered)
down to New Brunswick (where my father-in-law is); we are now in a hotel
near Newark airport with a flight back to the UK tomorrow morning.
I am exhausted. I am trying to ignore the 732 unread PDML messages...
I did a little shooting during a calming walk along a beach in
Connecticut, and may post a PESO later.
Rick
