My mom has a lot of chronic pain issues. She walks slowly and with a cane, and she's only 54.
25 years ago -- in her late twenties -- she lunged with her squash racquet for a shot that she will be feeling for the rest of her life. That's the issue of the soft tissue. In a somewhat unrelated but progressively worsening twist, she has arthritis, and is probably a few months away from getting a hip replacement. I guess I need to know what to expect from this too.
I guess this is an open prayer for her and for our family. My Fe is reasonably high, but I wish it could be higher at moments like these. Fi alone risks making a person in brat in these situations. I wish for more sympathy when empathy fails me. We haven't had words or anything, but I don't want to be impatient with her when she's telling me "do this", "do that" without the "please"s that we're all used to.
Grant me patience.
