been tied up ... and forgetful

I know I haven't been keeping up with this AGAIN! :-(
The last 3 weeks have been especially hard I had an important family obligation in DC and found out right before we left that my grandma's last cousin of her generation had died, then the next day on our way down I95 running late and hitting more traffic then should be possible (which drives my mom totally nuts and I stress out when she gets really upset) we found out that my mom's oldest friend (who had married my uncle and become my aunt) had just died as well.  We were able to make my grandmother's cousins funeral in Richmond VA but didn't have the money to get to Texas for my aunt's.
Then a bit after we got back to NYC while I was trying to stay on my feet (I had actually done pretty well with the whole trip and funeral health-wise) my father fell and his artificial hip popped out and we needed to get him to his hospital but they no longer took emergency patients so we took him to Northern Westchester cause he's been there before.  It turned out that the hip had punctured or gotten caught in his muscle and they tried and tried to move it back into place but couldn't and he had to be admitted and then we had trouble getting in touch with his original surgeon to see if we should move him... He ended up going under heavy anesthesia 3 times at least and they had to order special parts and he was in so much pain even with the constant pain killer drip.  I kept going back to the hospital to try and be there for him and help but I was getting weaker and worse off and  all the high pitched beeping and alarms and other stuff was honestly painful.
So my dad finally gets figured out and his hip is back in and he leaves the hospital and says he's fine on Thanksgiving.  I was in a lot of pain and kinda miserable that day, but dinner was great and I was able to get myself OK enough to watch my University rival football game and we lost, in our last game ever against a team we have had a rivalry with for more then a hundred years, by 1 point in the last 2 seconds of the game. I was enraged/crushed.
Then I get home and am really feeling the toll of all this emotional and physical stress... and my "lil sister" was in horrid pain with a nasty infection in her mouth and her parents wouldn't take her to the hospital and had given her pain killers (seriously heavy hitting) and antibiotics without even talking to a doctor.  So now I'm trying to help her check the meds and any interactions online and find her an emergency dentist or Hosp ER with a dentist on call.

So that is part of my excuse for not having been around when I had said I would be....
