OT Gonna be gone for a bit

Well, my mum has moved from death's sidewalk to death's doorway.
According to the hospice nurse she could go at any time.

My dad is freaking out, my siblings think that his denial constitutes
dementia, my flight out has been rescheduled for Sunday, and my newly
renewed permanent copy photo ID is not here yet. Nobody has contacted my
mom's siblings on her biological father's side, nobody has contacted
anybody in my dad's family, and my dad is furious at his pastor because
my mom gave the pastor her medical proxy and the pastor is following my
mom's wishes instead of my dad's. Mom must have known that dad would
turn heaven into hell to keep her alive.
Just to add seasoning to the mix, the uterine gnomes are sacrificing
goats. I am bleeding enough that I am getting faint frequently.

I will be spending much of tomorrow on the phone, then flying out at 6 in
the morning on Sunday, provided I make it through security.

When it rains it pours. I'm so, so sorry to learn about your
mother's illness- what a sad situation to have to face with of your
own medical problems, ID hassles, family dynamics and a long flight.
Take good care of you- you'll need your strength in all areas.

So sorry to hear of this mountain of problems and, potentially, sadness.
I hope that at least the official things get sorted for you to get
there.

You sound to be in totally controlled cope mode. This is nature's way
of helping you through this soon-to- be- horrible time. I hope things
aren't too complicated when it comes down to the wire. And in all
this, please take time to consider you own needs and feelings; and
spend time carefully letting it all out afterwards.

We all take on so much responsibility, and we are darned good at
getting things done and sorted. Then, when it is all over, there is a
crash. Take care of yourself, and don't let anyone 'guilt' you into
feeling bad about that. You matter too.

Take care, and I hope that things go as smoothly and gently in this
sad time, as they are able.

There is definitely a lot on your plate this weekend! I know you will
be logical, and bring a sense of order to the situation.
Take care of your yourself too, monitor your strength [physically and
emotionally].

Sending prayers skyward for peace of heart, patience, and strength for
you,

Let's find a way to get you in that airplane. Ask TSA what alternate forms
of id they will accept. We managed to get my sister home when her purse was
stolen by using her voter registration card. There's probably somethings
that will do the deed. Your birth certificate, marriage license, the
application for the photo id? Something. Perhaps a printed copy of an
email or fax from the hospice could be additionally helpful.
Take care of you. God bless. Polly

(((Hugs))) If I had to pick my top 5 organized people, you'd be on the
list. Hope you can delegate some of this (like contacting relatives)
so you can focus on your mom. Nothing else is that important.
Safe travels!
