yay the forum works!

Anyways good news. My aunt made it out of her surgery okay. It took them 5 hours. And at the end she was breathing on her own -- which is one of the things they were afraid of. She is still in ICU but should be getting out of there and into her own room by Today or Monday. From what I have been told she is going to be okay.

Oh and for you puppy lovers -- I should be taking some more photos of the puppies within the next week....:D speaking of which, currently someone is being VERY opnionated. Someone was very opnionated in the middle of the night also.

Does it make me a bad person to know I had an aunt die - not the one in the hospital; totally different aunt. And I don't feel anything about her loss? I mean I didn't know her. I didn't even know she existed. I do feel sorry her daughter and brother -- whom I do know.

I feel like I'm a bad person for not caring about her death. To me she is just some poor soul's obuitary in the paper. But I also feel justified for my feelings because my 'fathers' side of the family never wanted anything to do with me. I guess in a sense to them I don't exist.

Anyways. My other aunt. The one who just had surgery is back in ICU again. She has a collapsed left lung and phenomia (spelling?) in the other. I saw her over the weekend. She's trying to be strong. But she is afraid...

HF, thanks for waiting. You might have to wait a bit longer for photos. :) but I'll try to get some taken. I honestly need to anyways. So I'll put taking photos of the puppies on my LONG list of things to do today. No guarentee if I'll get to it; but I'll try. I'm going to be busy this week. I might be moving again soon.

Ceilidh, no it doesn't make you a bad person. It means you had no sort of personal or human connection to this person, and therefore have no emotional response other than what we would feel for any person dying. My father has nine brothers and sisters, and I feel virtually no connection to any of them. Two of them have died, and I felt no sense of sadness or loss at all.

If your aunt is fearful of her life, the best thing you can do for her is to give her the gift of your time and attention. Spend some time visiting with her and let her talk about whatever she wants. If she wants to be distracted, bring in pictures of your puppies or something like that. Ask her for stories of her childhood. If she wants to talk about her fears, let her do that. If you and she are religious, pray together or read the Bible to her. If she recovers, you will be much closer to her, and if she dies, you will feel that you gave her something precious when she needed it most.
