Second year Day 279 - Wednesday September 18, 2013

This past week or so has been crazy hectic, because I have had insurance renewals to deal with for the business along with all of the other business things going on (payroll, etc).  Sometimes life is just crazy!  I don't think I posted this yet.  Bridgett said to me...way back in the day, what did people blow their noses into--the wind?  Hah!  A common theme of questions, especially when Bridgett is having pain, is about anatomy.  Then she moves into asking questions like..what do they call it when they remove your kidney?  Isn't it dialysis that you have to do after a kidney removal?  How big would the scar on your back be?  Of course, this would be the kind of questions she asks on the days her kidneys are hurting.  Or, on the days her femur is hurting...if you have cancer in the bone, would they have to remove your leg?  Lots of questions about medical procedures and pain.  Faith said perhaps she heard things in the hospital that are weighing on her mind.  I don't know, but when pain intensifies, so do the questions, even with our assurance that she is not going to have her kidney removed, have a heart attack (when she feels that terrible pain in her lung from over inflation on the respirator), or whatever.
