what to do? what to do?
so my aunt took a road trip to houston to meet the guru. the long and the short of it, he promised that he could cure her without surgery. this of course feeds into her baseline desire of not wanting surgery in general.
this whole situation has the family in an uproar and i'm in a quandary as to what to do. they (her brothers and sisters) want me to "do something about her", like i have any pull. besides, she is an adult and is competent. her fierce resistance speaks to the anti-paternalist in me to let her do what she wants.
still, i'm not quite ready to be an orphan. this unwillingness to do surgery also flies in the face of her past wishes "to do everything possible" to treat a person. i suppose "everything possible" is whatever she arbitrarily decides? i don't know.
