GET THE FIERCE BACK.

I think my last post was a bulletin of sorts, a line up of things touched only briefly but ready indeed for their sentences.

My personal life is causing me stress and the interweaving of so many stresses is giving me pimples in my hair, which I just do not understand. and its inflaming my gut, which I do understand. I haven't heard from the insurance folks yet so we are trying to get all of our medical needs squeezed into the next four weeks while we are still insured. I have to have a wisdom tooth pulled and I am in love with my gay dentist. so in love. . .

My grandmother has been a fierce woman all of her life, she has not gotten everything she wanted or even close, but she was a standup woman with a family of five kids and the house/farm of her own. She'll be ninety one this summer and up until the last year or so, she's lived on her own and been the go-to girl for all the other girls. My two sons have quilts that she made for them, my 18 month old got his within a month of being born. She has a kajillion grandchildren and we've all gotten quilts and now she's moving on to the great-grands. She is in a swim class for crissakes. a SWIM class. she's probably more fit than I am.

And because of loads of crap and the healthcare system in America... she is foundering in a 'rehabilitation' facility. failing. getting timid.

and I want to scream through the air to her to RETAIN THE FIERCENESS. HOLD ON GRAMMIE. GO OUT WITH A GOOD TIME, NOT THIS CRAP UNCERTAINTY. GET THE FIERCE BACK, THEN DUCK OUT, IF YOU MUST. GET THE FIERCE BACK.

Awful stuff... it took weeks and finally the care of one female doctor to let my grandmother die. (That was her obvious and desired fate and it seemed only a woman could understand and honor that.) I hope things improve for your grandmother.

Good luck with everything else. I'm around if you need some adult (with baby) company. You know I'm good at the griping part!
