Sometimes life hands me so much shit I wonder if I can face another day! I am so tired at times that I can barely stand up let alone get out of bed. No depression in my family and Andrew thinks it's just too much thinking and worry about my sister. Yesterday she was admitted to hospital with pain in her chest and laboured breathing which turned out to to be an embolism caused by a clot formed from her break.
Andrew spoke with the er doctor at Pretoria's Little Company today and found out that Karen was very lucky to have arrived in hosp when she did and is on thinners to desolve the clots in her leg and lungs. Complications have risen and now so much worry about losing another sister. My mum is a WRECK and has demanded that I change my flight itinerary and come now. I have booked the flights and leave on sunday at 5:55pm and have 31 hours to fly arriving Tuesday morning. I hate Interlink and KLM, but could not get anything closer to today without paying like 11,000 dollars. This is already costing 3400. Mum said she will help, but that is not the factor. Just the situation I dread having to face seeing Karen in this state. I am trying to keep positive because i have to, but deep down I am afraid that the worse will happen. Being so far away makes things double worse sometimes. I do not want to go through it again, not being able to be with my family if Karen dies.
Andrew reassured me that she is in good hands but it is serious right now and my sister's husband and most of her kids are at the hospital with her.
I am flying alone and it will be a long journey having to worry and wonder about Karen's safety.
Mum said today that she and my niece, Evie have been packing like crazy and have opened a storage account. Evie is such a good kid! Her mum is in hospital and she insisted helping mum saying she needs to keep busy. Not a good thing for a fifteen year old to have to go through. But she is strong like many woman of our family. I suppose my father will be there as well and hope he puts his shit brained thinking away for awhile and helps my mother out.
We got a new puppy a few months ago and thought I'd post him. He's so cute.
So sorry to hear about your sister, Mia. I can understand your panic, but you must try not to imagine the worse (I know how hard that is). Keep your thoughts positive and believe that she will pull through. As your husband says, she is in good hands.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you. Be strong.

P.S. Your puppy is so cute!
