[Thespiritexpress] Sending love

[Lydia Rand]

Dear friends.
Many have been inquiring and sending support.
I don’t know if you know that Charles fell getting out of bed yesterday and has a spiral fracture in the femur. He was transported by ambulance to the hospital in Willits. My daughter Tatyana and I are with him, they put two beds for us in his room.
It’s the best hospital I have never been into, great big rooms with large windows, beautiful young nurses, amazingly personable and friendly, excellent food, a great garden and an exercise walk a stream.
We now are waiting to see if Charles will have surgery between 11:00 and 12:00. 
If he does he could possibly walk after therapy, if not he will never walk again.
He does not want that. He is ready to go. He just told me that we might have little time left together, we both cried. The first time since the accident that I accessed my feelings.
I am in a sort of daze, absent, calm, detached, not relating to anything, anyone, just watching it all as if I were not there.
 Extremely tired. Wishing to crawl into a corner and fall asleep forever… 
. . .and all those decisions to make, living will, last directives,  insurance, rest home for a while or going home with therapy, signing paper, resuscitation during surgery or not, listening to endless medical explanations, possibilities, and on and on. All those decisions I cannot make!
Fortunately Tatyana is taking it on, an angel of wisdom and composure.,
We may be here for another week.
Thank you again for your support and prayers
One thing I feel is the love in my heart for all of you.
Riantee
