Visit With Linda's Sister

Yesterday the wife and I went to visits her sister. Since getting out of the hospital, after having had surgery, she has not gotten much strength back.

I suppose it shall take a while, being as she had the trouble with her digestive system shutting down, had to recover from that as well as the surgery.

Plus on top of that the cancer is eating at her body, having under gone her first chemo therapy session. At least so far it still has not made her sick.

With her know she has this Mesothelioma cancer, that there is no cure, I find myself watching her to see her reactions to conversation that deal with this.

Her daughter had just got off the telephone, from talking with a Nurse practitioner, who is a good friend and is helping them out, Ashley was telling all of us what she had just learned.

During this part of the conversation, it seemed to me Glenda was just locking this out, hearing but not hearing, her eyes seem to be looking off in space.

After this part of the conversation was past, and we got to talking about other things, she was back with us, heavily involved in the conversation.

I wonder how I would deal with such a thing, as we know we all deal with life matter much differently, but I know many times when people face such thing as being terminally ill, they try to lock it out, I wonder if Glenda is trying to do that.

May God Bless,
Jerry
