My sister is back in the hospital this morning. She managed to get a sunburn so bad yesterday that she probably has an infection and they are concerned she may turn septic. Right now, I provide maybe 1/4 of my sister's care. My mother does the rest, mostly because I live 30 miles away, and my mother lives two miles away. I have to confess that one of my biggest fears in life is that when my mother is gone, my sister's care will fall to me completely. I love my sister, but if you look at my mother's phone call history, she receives no less than five, and usually more calls a day from my sister. My sister needs a LOT of care. I'm absolutely terrified of that burden becoming exclusively my cross to bear.. But lately, I'm not so sure it'll ever come to that, if you take my meaning. I almost feel horrible to say it, but it's quite a relief to expect my sister to be the next death in the family.
