So, my dad is almost ninety and is in the hospital subsequent to a bad fall at home that caused a brain bleed and he also had sepsis going on from some kind of infection. He made it through that, survived being intubated and extubated and fought off pneumonia with a bunch of strong antibiotics. He was oriented and they were about to release him to hospital rehab when he took a turn and is now having hallucinations and freaking out when nobody is seeing what he sees. Things aren't looking good.
That, however, is not my rant. Old people die, it's what happens and the guy has been healthy as a horse all his life in spite of drinking a lot of wine every day for decades. No, what's pissing me off is my fucking youngest sister, the moron of the family. While dad wasn't doing so well she was conspicuously absent from the text group where my stepmom was giving updates. As soon as he started to turn around, she was absolutely and INSUFFERABLY yapping on about how GAWD IS SO GOOD and ALL PRAISE TO JEEEEEBUS along with a whole bunch of her fucking stupid numerology shit (I bet you didn't know that when your car stereo clock reads 11:11 it is an official SIGN FROM GOD now, didn't you?) and now that he's on a down swing she's gone back to radio silence. I'm begging my middle sister (the sensible one) to talk me out of texting her asking how wonderful she finds it now that GAWD PRAISE YAH!!! is giving her dad hallucinations and how praiseworthy that is. There's no point to it, she's way too stoopid to learn any better but dammit, I really want to just SLAP HER IN THE FACE about fifty times in a row so maybe, just once, she will SHUT THE FUCK UP.
