We learned yesterday that my dad‘s excessive itching is a symptom of kidney failure. Together with heart failure, one by one his organs are letting us know that he is shutting down. As he’s 96, we all take it in stride.
Helping him find comfort, we let go of any efforts to run from this truth. There will not be any heroics. No dialysis or looking for organ replacements. Instead, some otc remedies as the steroids kick in.
Have you appreciated your organs lately? Can you take a moment to recognize them and their contribution to your comfort? Ki to Happiness appreciates each body part.
