RL being real (4) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2015 21:29:34 -0500 From: Greer Watson <gwatson2@r.......> Subject: RL being real My mother has been very ill for the last few weeks; and, as I'm the only family in Toronto, I have been caring for her more or less 24/7. She's been in and out of emergency rooms, all but the last of which have sent her home, each time sicker. However, on Thursday of last week, she was admitted to Toronto General Hospital. She was weak, but reasonably lucid over the weekend. Early Monday morning, she had a catastrophic collapse, and is now in the ICU on life support. Her condition is critical. I ... hope that I am not going to get The Phone Call That Wakes You Up Too Early. But I fear it is probably going to come. My sister has managed to change her flight, and will be here Tuesday afternoon. I have no idea whether my mother will still be alive. In any case, she is unconscious, and probably won't recognize her. So--trivial though it may sound in the circumstances--I would like to apologize to everyone on the mailing card list. I think the cards will be arriving rather late this year, if not sometime in January. I thought, though, that I should offer an explanation, since *your* cards have already started to arrive.
