just curious, what is this ? >> given her age and propensity for self-destruction in daily activities
that sounds like yr T is a little klutzy ? |
I would never have been happy if someone I knew got hurt. But it would not put me out of sorts. I cannot figure out what part of this has me out of sorts. I assume she will heal, I assume her family will take care of her, I have absolutely no desire to take care of her, a missed appointment is not that big of a deal, I cancel more than she does as a general rule, not going to the appointment actually made my life easier - and yet I have unease and general offedness over the situation. I am sort of concerned my reaction means I am getting worse and not better.
And yes - it would be terrible.
She is very near (if not at) the break between middle age and old and really could die at any minute without it being a huge shock. And she has seemed to have a fair number of minor injuries and illness this year. She may very well need to employ a keeper for herself. I may suggest it.
