I feel so useless right now

My oldest sis went to "water" our gmaw, meaning giving her her nightly eyedrops, putting water on her sleep apnea machine, and removing her pressure stockings.

Sis got out of the hospital less than a week ago due to an infection in her hip leaving her left foot paralyzed. She can walk short distances with crutches now, but that's it.

When she was removing gmaws stocking a few minutes ago, she noticed gmaws leg was swollen, rock hard, and unnaturally red.
She's taking gmaw to the ER as we speak.


Meanwhile, I'm stuck at home bc of tunnel work and drinking. Even if I wasn't drinking I still wouldn't be able to do anything to help bc of the tunnel, but that doesn't take away from the fact I feel absolutely useless right now.

(Tunnel closes at 8pm and opens 6am every night, with convoys at set times, but none that would work for me at this time even if I was sober. It's almost 9.30 pm here atm. Next convoy is 11.pm)

You can be on the phone with your sister. That would help.

@LordShadowfire she's focusing on gmaw atm. I'm available if she needs me later tho.

@LordBarbossa Trust me. Once she has gmaw settled in at the hospital and has nothing better to do than worry, she will want to hear your voice.

@LordShadowfire IF gmaw is admitted...

@LordBarbossa She better be, or I'll drive to Norway and demand to know why.

@LordBarbossa Well, it's been 37 minutes. Figured I'd better check in. Did they admit her, or do you not yet know?
LordBarbossa · 36-40, T
@LordShadowfire they did not. She got an emergency appointment at the hospital tomorrow at 10am, but they sent her home for the night.

Sis will take her, but I offered to be available after noon so sis can go home to her kids if things take time.

@LordBarbossa I'm sorry to hear she didn't get in today, but that's better than nothing.
