But the week is still young.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Is there anything I can say here, with regards to my\u00a0family at large, that would surprise either of us? I wouldn&#8217;t think so, and yet they still manage to get me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with Sunday. Apparently my mom was ill enough to require 911. I found out from a voicemail left by my dad. He doesn&#8217;t text. Ever. For any reason. He also won&#8217;t watch any movie made after 1950. But that&#8217;s another story.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Calling my parents is daunting. You will never get someone to answer the first time you call, and probably not the second time either. A few years ago, I was hospitalized with appendicitis. I called their house, to tell them of my urgent and impending surgery, knowing they were home. It was the day before Thanksgiving. They are retired. Where else would they be?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Again and again I tried to call them, to absolutely no avail. &#8220;I&#8217;m having an emergency appendectomy today&#8221; isn&#8217;t exactly the kind of thing you want to leave on a voicemail. But after five unanswered phone calls I really had no choice. After I left the message on their house phone, I tried their cell phones again. I finally reached my dad on his phone, but when I told him, he yelled for my mother. Wendi has appendicitis, he called out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But she had just heard my voicemail, so she knew. And now she had just one concern:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why, in God&#8217;s name, had I called my dad?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So Sunday, when I missed my dad&#8217;s call, I knew I was not likely to know what was going on with my mom anytime soon. No answer from either cell, no matter how much I called. I finally had to call the ER nurse, who helpfully handed the phone to my dad. I&#8217;m hoping I can convince her to live with them. Every phone call should be that easy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_155\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-155\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-155\" src=\"http:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-25-at-6.55.54-PM-290x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"290\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-25-at-6.55.54-PM-290x300.png 290w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-25-at-6.55.54-PM-768x794.png 768w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-25-at-6.55.54-PM-300x310.png 300w, https:\/\/wendirank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screen-Shot-2021-02-25-at-6.55.54-PM.png 842w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-155\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stop taking pictures with your phone and answer it!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As my dad filled me in on what was going on with my mom, I could hear someone in the background asking for Levophed. It&#8217;s a drug. An adage popped into my head. Levophed you&#8217;re dead<em>.\u00a0<\/em>And I thought,\u00a0<em>Poor bastard<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Turns out, the poor bastard was my mom.

We&#8217;re both health care professionals; I&#8217;m used to tackling any health care issue &#8211; hers or someone else&#8217;s &#8211; with her. She can&#8217;t participate this time though, leaving me alone with a family that doesn&#8217;t see her illness like I see it. Like she and I would see it together. I feel like I sat down to write only to discover my hand was gone.<\/p>\n<p>Enter the crazy. My aunt is convinced that, despite the CT scan of the chest that clearly demonstrates pneumonia, my mom&#8217;s illness is from a urinary tract infection. Why, you&#8217;re asking, right? Well, my mom nearly got this sick six months ago from a urinary tract infection.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it. Don&#8217;t wait for more of an explanation. There&#8217;s none coming.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My sister has a much more elaborate &#8211; and, may I say, sinister &#8211; reason for my mom&#8217;s acute illness. My mom&#8217;s middle name is Blanche, for her grandmother, who died shortly after my mom was born.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My sister&#8217;s new baby&#8217;s middle name is Barbara, after my mom. You see where this is headed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, if you want to off a female member of my family, you give a child her name. Is it some kind of virus? A scourge from drinking nonpotable water? The dawn of the zombie apocalypse? I just don&#8217;t know, but for God&#8217;s sake, don&#8217;t name your kid after me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One day this week, my aunt and I huddled in the hospital hallway, discussing my mom&#8217;s condition. My aunt is having some ongoing dental work, she explained. Until it&#8217;s complete, she&#8217;s wearing a partial plate. The plate doesn&#8217;t always sit right in her mouth. But when it does, it is, she tells me, in the G-spot. And laughs at her analogy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hold on,&#8221; I say, and write that one down for later.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday night I was so exhausted that I managed to use the bathroom during the night without ever waking up. It&#8217;s nothing short of a miracle that I didn&#8217;t pee the bed, and I&#8217;m willing to take the miracles where they come this week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By Wednesday, I could see that Don, who has been the lighthouse that keeps me from banging on the rocks, was suffering. I decided to throw him a bone or &#8211; more accurately &#8211; have him throw me one. I tended to some\u00a0grooming\u00a0without much success. My Nair must be old because by the time I was done southern Wendi was a calico of bald patches. I went for it anyway, took what I could, and mentally offered Don apologies for what I&#8217;m sure was a lackluster performance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The best thing I can say about this week is that the progression of my mom&#8217;s illness has been nearly identical to Lamar Odom&#8217;s. My dad owns property in Las Vegas. I&#8217;m telling people my mom was at the property, partying with Lamar when she got sick. I&#8217;m trying to convince my dad that he should dress as Khloe for Halloween, and we&#8217;ll dress my mom like Lamar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Am I horrible for finding the humor in this dire situation? Well, I usually write my posts while my kids are in Sunday School. My mom is usually there, asking me what stories I&#8217;m telling about the family this week. So I&#8217;ll write this and in my head my mom is standing behind me, asking me what I&#8217;m up to while my kids are getting churched.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Come to think of it, this is probably God&#8217;s way of saying I&#8217;m not as funny as I think I am.<\/p>\n<p>First, I&#8217;d like to say that no parents were harmed in the making of this blog.
