Several months ago, after a thirty-year cooling off period, my ex-wife and I have rekindled a friendship on Facebook. We have been exchanging message three or four times a week, sometimes more. We have both worried if we didn't hear from the other in three days or more. A lot of time has been spent complaining about our medical ills. Me my wheelchair, she her COPD. I knew her health was poor, but we laughed a lot. I have been worried lately because her blood pressure had soared and she was having several additional problems. I was relieved when I learned that my step-daughter was moving back to Washington this week.
I just heard from my step-daughter. My ex is currently in the hospital and will be coming home in a few days with Hospice. Her COPD is now end stage. I didn't realize that it would affect me so much.
