Sis held her piece about as long as she could. Little bits of extreme nastiness are oozing our her like puss from an infected puncture wound. She simply can’t help herself. As heartless as she is it’s hard to imagine but maybe she’s feeling some of the stress of being in close proximity to someone whose life is slipping away.
My grandmother is doing terrible. I’ll be surprised if she’s still alive this time next week. I don’t know how I’ve stood it this long. I don’t how people manage to suffer alongside loved ones for months and years on end. Most chicken-shit-mother-fuckers bolt at the first signs of potential inconveince or expense. Sadly, if I had any options, I might very well not be here either.
This seems to have fallen to me though. I probably deserve worse, if there is such a thing. For the record, those of you shooting for extreme old age — you’re fucking up. I foresee lots of old folks littering the streets as the bottom continues to fall out of the house of cards that is the US economy. We’ll look the other way, just like we have with the mentally ill for almost 30 years now. One day soon the long-lived among us will be sleeping under the stars and panhandling for hearing aid battery money. It’s a bad road. We turned off onto it long ago.
