Thanks Lona. I know you're a healer. :)

I don't know if I want to drag through all of that again right now though... It's just a looooong, long story, and a depressing one to boot. Essentially, my grandmother was administered a lethal dose of a sedative less than a year ago, and was not expected to make it. She recovered. The convalescent hospital she was living at swore it was a mistake, which we all believed. 10 months later the exact same drug is administered, again in a lethal dose. This isn't even something she's being prescribed, by the way, it's completely foreign. This time, however, G'ma caught pnumonia and another lung disease and it kills her. So, we're in the process of trying to prosecute the hospital for her death. Twice in 10 months doesn't seem very accidental to me, but the prosecutors are having a hard time finding any evidence that will prove anything.

Add my 'rents splitting up for a few months, my dad getting a slipped disc and losing most of the feeling in his arms and therefore losing his job, and his subsequent return to drinking after his mom's death....it's been a rough few months.

But...there's good stuff coming around that's fixing some of that. Dad is in some therapy that's given him enough feeling that he's back to work today, finally. He's working on sobriety again, and moved back in with Mom, they start counciling next week.

Grandma hasn't come back to life, of course, but my nephew just turned one year old last week, reminding us all that life does indeed go on. :) My sister is dating a fellow that she dated before she had the baby, and he's asked her recently to marry him and let him adopt the baby. :) She's still debating, but I think she might go for it. She's been with him before, and is returning now, and I can see in her eyes that she cares about him. And vice-versa, he's really good with the baby, the baby just adores him back. I think it could be really good. The guy has a daughter that he has 50% custody of too, and owns a house, has a good job...all those things that just scream "I'm a grown up", which is *so* unlike most of her other boyfriends, LOL.

So anyway...that's it, in a nutshell. Muddy waters, but they're clearin' now. :)
