ashkittyGetting older, it turns out, is a lot of 'watching your parents also get older' in uncomfortable ways. Both my parents have struggled with new health issues over the past several years (my mom's stalemate with cancer hasn't been easy on her body, for one thing) and I have to say I do not care for it.
She's in a rehab centre/nursing home at the moment, after having been kept in hospital for a couple of weeks for kidney damage. The culprit is apparently one of the chemo drugs, so it can't be helped, but I'm not at all clear on the details - neither of my parents hear all that well, so aren't really catching whatever the doctor is saying.
My sister is flying up today to stay with them for a bit, since she can work remotely, and try and help out and also get the details. The one part of being back in Wales I don't love is being so far away from my family, but oh well.
