I'm sorry Teka. If it helps any we can limp together...
Maybe we can both get one of those nifty canes that has a
sword/flask on the inside in an Uber Secret Compartment?
Please take your ass back to the ER if you haven't been already. Doesn't matter if you don't have Insurance or not, they have to see you and treat you by Federal Law. You don't want to end up having to get Knee Replacement surgery, because you didn't get treatment in a timely manner.
Look at it this way, least you'll get some groovy pain meds. And with the amount of pain I imagine you are in, you need them. Please go to the doctor. Don't be a tough guy.
We love ya man, holler if you need anything..

Thanks to everyone, and particularly Iriacynthe for sharing such a private moment with me. Means alot. The Poem was beautiful. I would like to see it in Dutch as well, if you care to share sometime.
As I type this, they are laying my Grandmother to rest 2300 miles away..
Sob...
Everyone in the Family has been very kind about me not being there, but it still hurts so bad. I know all that remains is her shell, but the selfish part of me feels like my Goodbyes should be in person, where her body remains. I should be there when they return her to the Earth. I should be holding my Mom's hand. I should be there to throw an Iris in the grave as they lower her body. I should be there to say a few words about her and what she meant to all of us and me.
So many "
I Should's"..
I'm trying not to blame myself for being too weak to travel, but I'm failing miserably.
Everyone keeps saying she wouldn't want me to take a risk like that for her with my health. My Mom said the last time they spoke of me, my Grandma said all she wanted was for me to be "
Healthy & Happy". She said she could also tell that my son had been raised well by me, and she was very proud of me for being such a good Mother. I just wanted to kiss her cheek one more time, and tell her I love her.
Sob...
I really can't believe she's gone.. I just can' t believe it.
Good bye Grandma...We Will Always Miss You and Love You..Siempre..
