Being there was the right thing.

flutter, I’m dealing fine, aside from being concerned for the others. In moments like this I’m more concerned about meeting their needs.

De, the surgeons received the good vibes, thank you. Strangely the recovery only takes about 4 weeks. It seems short compared to the eight weeks it used to require. I was tickled about the bike too. It’s nice when it isn’t too late to go back.

Bob, I’m sorry Laura and her sisters, were subjected to the live-ins poor form, that’s just wrong. I hope your BIL has a speedy recovery.

Lynn, thanks. Things are going well. Considering the stress level, my sister handled things very well.

The trick will be remaining fluid in your morphing as your sister’s needs change from one moment to the next. Fortunately, you are very good at ‘reading’ people. I’ll send good thoughts to you and your family.

She and her sisters jumped through all kinds of hoops, went to all kinds of trouble to make arrangements for him that his live-in girlfriend said she would do, but then didn’t. When he got out of the hospital his dad made the comment to him that he owed a lot to his sisters. He replied “Why, girlfriend did all the work.”

I hope that your support of your sister gets recognized for what it is – an expression of your love for her.

His recovery will be long, so your role may change throughout the process. I’m sorry that this is coming up right on the heels of the other.

That is exciting news about the niece learning to ride a bike – from her father no less. Sweet.

She might need you to deal with her kids while she’s dealing with her husband.

She might need you to provide gallows humor.

I guess you’ll have to ask her.
