Why utter the words: "I value your friendship" or "you are truly someone i'm starting to care about", when at the first sign of a misunderstanding you'll toss that person out of your life as if they meant nothing to you?
I didn't fake my kindness.
Honestly, I am well beyond used to it, but that doesn't stop me from wondering why do that at all. I guess the entertainment was momentary, because genuine, those words were not. It's strange and ironic how unwilling I am to do that to another, where others so freely do so with me.
Pity party over here. I must be quite horrid eh? Lol.
I do lament it, but I won't be used, not if you won't let me use you in return.
Also, careful how you define use, you might surprise yourself.
My sister finally saw him today. She broke down seeing him like that. With us going back and forth between hospitals, between parents...
I can't blame her.
I've been coming home with eyes seeming like I've been getting high all day.
I don't blame her at all.
He's better, yet in the ICU.
His anxiety/nervousness kicks in at the worst of times. Every nurse and doctor is taking their time, ignoring, lying, and avoiding doing their work. No, Pa, I won't let you keep that up about these kind nurses. A few might have had slight less patience, but upon talking with them, they exhausted their knowledge about his situation. They are helping. They want to help. And they are human. But with what they deal with, they are superhuman. They are allowed their off days. Because even though having them, they are still there working through them.
Tonight? She thanked me for helping her with my father. Moving him. Adjusting. tending to him. Cleaning him up. I wouldn't move from the bedside, so I was sticking my hands wherever I could without being in the way. So of course, she asked me, naturally, to help her here and there. And then apologized for asking me to help her, because she shouldn't. No, Thank YOU. Your witty jokes and bantering with my father is what he needs. He's the strongest I've seen him, and I'm more than happy to be helping you care for my father when I know he's not the only patient here, as you call out of the room that "you'll be there in 30 seconds." You are nothing less than amazing while keeping that bedside manner with a a difficult patient.
Every joke he tells is a god send. How ironic.
I am exhausted.
A stroke.
Why couldn't it be me?
