Comments on: I Am 3,000 Miles Away And Can Do Nothing http://www.furiousnads.com/2005/12/i-am-3000-miles-away-and-can-do-nothing/ You're furious. I never taught you to sing. You carry rocks in your head and pitch them. Without warning. Happy drunk. You're furious. I beg you for sin. I beg your skin. You buy a whore. Don't give her water. You're furious.

Alas, the store had no Polish beer to round out the theme. I am, as we speak, finishing up my dinner of pieorgi and kielbasa. Alas, the store had no Polish beer to round out the theme.

She's been in the ICU since 3 p.m. Friday and has been put through a battery of painful tests to try to find out why she is consistently losing blood. I don't know when it all really started, but as of three days ago, she was so weak she couldn't stand and couldn't understand enough to communicate. As of now, they have put four bags of blood in her and it just comes out the bottom end with whatever else is in there. And the tests have not shown anything definitive as to the cause. And it seems to have stopped. Chances are that we will bring her home in a few days and just wait and see. If it all starts again, I will expercise my option as her health care proxy to keep her home and as pain-free as possible until nature takes its course. The hospital procedures have been very painful and traumatic for her, escalating her growing dimentia. After being up and at her side for 28 of the past 30 hours, I'm sitting here eating the pierogi we were all going to have tonight and watching the "Triangle" I taped off Sci Fi a week ago. And then it's to bed so that I can get up early and go back to the hospital. Staroszcz nie radoszcz, as my grandmother used to say -- which, loosely translated, means getting old sucks.
