Since December:
My MIL had to have surgery to remove a mass in her lungs. The surgery went well and she’s recovering.
My mom was admitted with pneumonia where I found out she has COPD, asthma, and possibly diabetes. She’s home and recovering and planning on quitting smoke.
Two of my husband’s uncles (brothers) have died, one of them just two days ago.
And we’re coping as best as we all can. This is just life stuff, it hits everyone. But man, I’m just walking in this sudden understanding that my parent’s generation is really starting to decline. I’m witnessing it happening in a very real and clear way that I guess I never actually saw before.
