Journal de Kenna Morton, 02 juin 20

For those who know of my ongoing saga of my sister who survived Covid19 and came to my house 3 weeks ago to rehab— an update. When she got here she was so weak and debilitated that it took 2 of us to help her into the house. She was on oxygen 24 hours a day and things were looking grim. I built a physical therapy program and a pulmonary rehab program for her and I’m happy to say it all worked out. She is going back to her own home today. She no longer uses oxygen and walks just with a cane for support. She can climb 12 stairs to the bathroom to shower and walk half a block and still maintain good oxygen saturations. Now it is purely UP TO HER how badly she wants to continue on this healthier path. It’s a lot of work and that work will not end- ever. But I will no longer be there as the drill instructor to “motivate” her. We are all a product of our decisions.

I am happy for you and your sister that she is going to be okay! You are not a drill instructor but an angle! And, your are right, motivation should come from within!

I knew if there was a chance for her, you’d be the main instrument. You didn’t let me down. Lol! Kudos to you for your wise instruction to her Kenna. I hope she chooses to continue this journey. ❤️🙏

Any more update on how your sister is feeling?

melissatwa— thanks for asking. I wish I could say she was doing great but unfortunately not the case. As long I was here managing all the co-morbidities and being the “drill instructor“ she did great. Left to her own devices and In control of her own choices things have begun to backslide. This is not my first rodeo with this scenario, I have dealt with this several times before. We will see what the future brings. She fails to consider how this impacts anyone but her. I have spent the last 4-5 months of MY life just trying to facilitate keeping her alive and in two weeks all she gained is quickly going by the wayside. We see this same scenario with many people here on FS who complain that their friends and families are not supportive, don’t live their diets with them or don’t offer enough encouragement, etc. probably not their first rodeo either. This is all about personal choices with an occasional thought to how your choices impact others in your world.

I am sorry to hear that but not surprised given the concerns you shared before. I think this is something we all need to think carefully about and especially try to help our kids understand. Our values absolutely impact those around us... especially the people who love us the most. Different but related... I have a son who lives for dangerous sports. He is one jump or slip away from breaking something, which could be his neck. He can't wait to move away from home so he can get a motorcycle. Who will take care of him should he become hurt... Yep...

Melissatwa— don’t you wish you could encase him In bubble wrap and protect him. Did you know that that “risk taker” is genetic— it has its own gene. Maybe one day they can use CRISPR to edit that gene out so we can keep them safe

I did not know that. That might explain some things. We adopted him and have no knowledge of his biological family. It is hard for us to understand why he just doesn't care about danger. A few years ago, he learned about how high school seniors sometimes get labeled with a "most likely to __________" He told us he was "most likely to die in a motorcycle accident." Thankfully, he has been learning a bit more and has grown a lot. But, at 17 he still feels mighty invincible. So many prayers!!!!

Melissatwa— there is also a medical condition that is well documented in the extreme sports world such as base jumpers, free style climbers, etc. that involves a chemical imbalance in the brain where the person suffers depression, does not really feel alive. Dangerous activities drive that adrenaline/dopamine production that can counteracts that—- thus the term adrenaline junkie. Then there is the teenage boy syndrome— simply an attention getting behavior. I love motorcycles and actually had one many years ago but it didn’t take long to see that was a quick trip to a short life—high percentage of organ donors come from motor cycle accidents. I have seen my share over the years of being an ER nurse in a trauma center. I would love to have a Can Am Spyder, but my daughter tells me I’m not allowed to spend her inheritance On it. Bummer I say. LOL.
