Cindy continues to attempt to breathe on her own as best she can. The process is slow but steady.
Tests were done to make sure that her digestive system is good. All is A-OK.
Cindy’s childhood friend, Nike was here for the weekend and left today to go back to Los Angeles. But first, she left Cindy a piece of art work on her Daily Board in her room:
The following is a text message from my cousin Amy. It is dedicated to Cindy’s patience:
“Hi Debbie. I loved yesterday’s blog because it was beautiful, poignant, sad, and funny! Not only does it tell how Cindy keeps doing better and is working so hard with her recovery (Yaaah!!!) but also made me sad thinking of your mom as well as sad again how right now Cindy isn’t able to “deal with” my mom. It made me laugh and was funny to me because of what you said about my mom not getting any of what you were explaining about seeing the blog, etc. and your losing patience. I’m going to use your trick to help me – I’ll pretend I’m Cindy when I talk with my mom! “
My partner, Pauline, asks me how Cindy is every day. I tell her she can check the blog like everyone else. She says she can just ask me. I get insulted. She says:
“Ok. I’ll call Aunt Sandy and ask her how to access the blog. How about that?”
Rita carries around Cindy’s phone. It rings constantly all day long. The caller at the other end of the conversation usually needs Cindy’s help, When they find out that she is incapacitated, they tell Rita they hope she feels better and often tell her that they are lost without her. Then they proceed to ask Rita to help. She begs ignorance and gets off the phone and screams:
“Cindy! How do you take care of all these people!!!”
