I admit that I am sending hugs and much love and thanks to my sisters of heart here. I admit that I think of you all so often during the day, wonder how you are, and say a quiet pray for you. I admit that I took Thing 1 to his/my paid friend today and sat in. Thing 2 came along, also. There were some very frank things said, some that surprised me, others that did not. I admit that Thing 2 told our paid friend that she would see her next week (she has a first visit) to "talk about stuff that she didn't want to say to her family since her family were the ones she wanted to talk about." Our paid friend and the Dr. who dispenses T1's meds looked at her, trying not to be startled at her forthrightness. I looked at them both and mouthed the words, "I TOLD YOU!!!" I admit that our paid friend said she could bring in a game if she liked, during her visit, to make her feel more at ease. I admit that T2 said, "I don't really need a game. I just need to unload some stuff. A game will distract me, and I may have a lot to say." I admit that there simply are not enough words of warning for me to give someone before they have an encounter with this girl. I admit that my oldest sister is still in horrible shape, and her kids won't do the "right" thing. I admit that I have had to mentally step away from the situation in order to maintain my sanity. I admit that I was surprised when my closest (to me) sister told me that I needed to be selfish and do things for me this weekend because there wasn't anything that I could do to change things at the hospital. I admit that I almost started crying at her understanding that I just need to have some "me" time... away from my family, "stuff," and allow my brain to go on autopilot.
