Sis is still alive. Been reflecting on the course that this year has taken. From the outset my sister was seriously ill. She almost died last Christmas. The year has then been one of periodic emergency trips to the hospital, doctor visits, physical therapy, residency at a nursing home rehab facility and more. She has not had a pleasant year with almost constant intense leg pain, a handful of seizures, scary high blood pressure and all the other stuff that goes on with what is going on with her.
I love my sister.
This is tough stuff.
Unfortunately being the recluse that I am and having become progressively more reclusive the past few years has not been a good thing with respect to my relations to other family members. There have been times when I went long periods of time not talking to my parents and others. However my parents and I have talked at least every weekend since last Christmas when sis entered the hospital. We have grown close. This year will end up with us seeing each other three times by Christmas. Better than not seeing them for many years.
I love my parents and other sister.
That expression, 'good comes out of bad'...I believe it.
