My mother fell down the stairs on Friday and experienced acute subdural hematoma presenting with uncal herniation. She has alcohol use disorder and this made the the tear that much worse. She was given a craniotomy and had the blood drained and has been in a medically induced coma since then. Doctors are not optimistic. My Dad, just retired. She was talking about getting a new dog. She turned 62 at the start of last month, I will be 31 at the beginning of the next. It’s easy to get swept up in the world right now. Remember the impermanence of the ones you love and yourself. We’ve got less time than we think.
