Niki's Funeral and Sandra's Parents
Sandra's Dad is slowly on the mend. They are fitting him with a pacemaker today and talking about weaning him off the dialysis, the ventilator, and the medication they've been giving him to keep his blood pressure up, so they're cautiously optimistic about his prognosis.
Sandra's Mum is recovering well from her knee replacement and is in good spirits. We still have a lot ahead of us, but it's looking hopeful for now.
Sandra and I spent all day yesterday relocating Sandra's Mum down to the Mater Private rehab so she can be close to Brian, and we're both pretty wrecked.
Today was the day of Niki's funeral and I couldn't get there. In fact, I spent most of today either a sleep, or completely brain dead in front of my computer. I can't think, I can't grieve. I am just too tired.
I wore green today in Nik's honor and thought of everyone at her service. When I know if/where her ashes will be interred/scattered and things settle down here, I will go and say my goodbyes to her then.
A friend emailed and let me know that there were many friends there to say goodbye to her. That is not surprising. If you ever met Niki, she would touch your life in a way you'd never forget. She was one of life's angels.
I know this entry is a bit disjointed and rambly but that is how I feel today. All out of joint and lost...
