not a good daughter

she was gonna eat something 
& then call me back 
BUT 
my general impression was that she
THOUGHT
she could drive herself 

my headache has
MIGRAINED
so I texted her and said I wasn't sure I was safe to drive anymore 

she didn't respond 
SO
I called her 
& she's been reading 
I guess 
the tests are for intestinal blockages 
because she's constipated 

she's not allowed to drink much 
& she's on diuretics 
constipation is pretty normal 
BUT 
her doctor is
VERY cautious

I'm not sure what that has to do with 
LUNG FLUID 
which I thought was the problem 

I'm LIKE 
I'm not sure I'm safe to drive 
you seemed like you were, but you were going to call me BACK
ARE you ok to drive yourself 

she says yes

none of it makes sense 

I'm SURE something will be my fault LATER 
BUT 
for now 
it's just me and my headache and nausea 
in the dark-ish room
under a weighted blanket 

BOTH
trying to feel good enough to eat solid food
AND
demonstrating why she doesn't want me to be her caregiver
