her able hands

I forgot to give an update on my father in-law, the man who has more lives than even the most resilient, jumping from the 12th floor window cat. He’s home and right back to normal (which is sick, and dying, but whatever happened to him didn’t seem to bring him much closer to that death).

The doctors thought stroke because he was completely paralyzed on the left side. He came awake when the EMTs tried to move him, so the coma thing was either not true or short-lived. At the hospital they could find no sign of stroke. None. He came home the next day, under his own mobility. He says he did not see the light. The best they can figure is he somehow cut off his circulation by sleeping on his left side for too long. The fact that seven people were unable to wake him up? A mystery.

I’m completely selfish for being relieved that we won’t have to cancel my birthday bash in order to have a funeral.
