So, this Christmas isn't looking like it's going to be a happy one. My aunt is in ICU in Arkansas because her doctors are a bunch of idiots (she has kidney disease and they injected her with a dye to check for blood clots that is KNOWN to shut the kidneys down...then they gave her pain medication to help which then caused her to overdose and have a heart attack...can we say lawsuit?), her son is stuck on an army base in georgia and they won't discharge him until Friday (but she keeps telling everyone that it will be too late by then...really reassuring isn't it) and we don't have the money because of the holiday for me to fly down there to see what is going on. My parents haven't spoken to her or her sister in almost 20 years, so I'm basically stuck in the middle. To make matters worse, my husband got a phone call today from his mother saying that his great grandfather in Vermont probably won't make it through the weekend. I understand that he's 93 years old and we've been expecting this for a while, but it isn't making it an easier on Justin. Now I have to deal with the fact that I'm about to lose my aunt and the fact that my husband is about to lose his great grandfather all during this holiday season. This is really starting to become too much for me to handle and I'm just ready to start screaming! Christmas is supposed to be a happy time...especially since this is the first year my son actually has a small clue of what is going on. Oh well, I really just wanted to vent to gain some small bit of sanity back. I hope everyone has a better Christmas this year than we probably will! Talk to all of you soon...
