Ding! Round Two: Addendum

In my last post I wrote “At least this time, with her sister here, my mom won’t have to spend hours waiting with only my stuperous father to talk to.” This was by no means to imply that my father was deserving of anything less than my mother’s full attention. However, his first chemo infusion took five hours, during which time my father dozed off for a while, leaving my mom effectively alone for the duration. By contrast, I believe that her sister Gloria’s expected presence tomorrow will simply serve to help diminish my mother’s tedium.
