Her Namesake

Just spent a two-hour block at the ICU in Kadlec. Grandma O. is there with an assortment of tubes and wires, a head turban and an extreme-looking oxygen mask.
I have such a mixed bag of emotions in me right now that I don't even know how or what I'm feeling. Mostly exhausted and annoyed by my aunts. Oh Clarence, your stoic reserve didn't pass to any of your children. Skipped right on down to the next generation.
Prayers. Please?
Brain surgery yesterday went well, and she's too wired in and hopped up on pain meds to really respond to anything coherently. Her eyes are dazed and sad looking.
