Slow Recoveries

Our mother is better but far from well.  One of our friends, who is a doctor, looked at things and said that the hospital nearly killed her, though not for attribution in a court of law.   She requires round the clock care so we're not getting a lot of extra things done.   Unfortunately, she has developed bed sores so there is also that to deal with.  But her doctor says there is nothing imminently life threatening in her condition.  

It's exhausting but it's a good reminder that there is no experience in life better than being able to do things for others.  Maybe that's the purpose of suffering, the answer to the problem of evil.

  1. But if I am my brother's keeper and there isn't a profit in it, doesn't that subvert the marketplace and threaten our freedumb?

    Snark aside, may the peace of God be with you and your family.
