My grandmother, 88 and somewhat senile, fell Sunday morning and broke her hip. She is in the hospital for a hip replacement.
My cousin
Sam, 25 and intelligent, is still lying in the ICU of Rhode Island Hospital, unable to move most of his body or talk because of the ventilator.
My boyfriend Dan, 37 and depressed, has decided it's better for him not to have me around while he's searching for a new job.
I spent the past weekend in Providence helping keep up Sam's spirits. Now I want someone to hold my hand for a while. There's no one here.
