Information Overload�

2003-11-04

I went over to my folks house today. I'm trying not to cross the line between insane and concerned. Got one sister who has already passed from concerned daughter to I-don't-know-what insane. It's a fine line, and I don't really know where it is, so I do my best to show my concern, but to give Dad enough space to deal.

Do I know what the edge of that space is? No. But I will inch forward and back, letting him tell me. Before I left today, he showed me all of his booklets and brochures.

Damn! I should have all of those already. I certainly wanted to read them, but couldn't take his. I read the fact that he showed them to me as wanting to know someone else's opinion on the information overload. Gonna be spending a few hours on line looking up multiple myeloma and gathering as much information as I can get my hands on.
