Thanks, everybody. She is fighting for her life. Very rough night last night but she is resting and not in pain far as I can tell. She tried to eat and I got her medication in her. I am just trying to prepare for one of the toughest stretches of my life.
She was my first thought when I woke up, of course, but my second thought was sheer, unvarnished bitterness about what happened at the meeting last night. "If one of your family members were fighting for his or her life, would you say that may be a topic to share at a meeting?" [that's what I was thinking] What kind of sociopath would not think a dying family member has no impact on serenity/sobriety?
Tonight is the safest meeting of the week, and I hope I'll feel better afterwards. What else can I say?
