It all began on Nov. 18 when I had triple bypass surgery. The aftermath of that is something I wouldn't wish on anyone--severe fluid retention, nausea, vomiting, extreme anemia, incision pain, back pain, leg pain, backed-up GI tract, dizziness. And the month closed with my mother's end-of-life suffering and the emotional drama it caused.
Aaron, of course, had to watch one of his very favorite people go through hell and back. Add to this all the extra driving and errands he had to perform in order to visit me and take care of his grandmother and me. Though he took three weeks off from his position with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, he continued to work three nights a week at the restaurant and as a research assistant for a UCLA professor. He also had the stress and time commitment of getting graduate school applications filed on time.
If this weren't enough, his car was rear-ended, he was badly scraped in a bicycle accident, a girl who seemed perfect for him up and dropped him, and he got in a fist fight with a friend.
Aaron and I are so looking forward to a happier, healthier new year!
