I lived with my guilt and my relief that the bloody nose didn’t mean a trip to the emergency room and another round of frustrating doctor phone calls. It was a hard moment to explain to a 4-year-old. But, I had to pursue the wild orthopedist chase, I had no choice. I knew she’d been jumping around the living room in frustration because I’d been ignoring her all morning. But still, the familiar wave of guilt washed over me. My daughter seemed none the worse for the wear once the blood and tears subsided. It staunched the blood and lowered the blood pressure. “Mom, I’ll call you back!” I blurted as a I threw down the cellphone and grabbed a cold, wet washcloth which worked wonders. I have never seen anything bleed so much, and neither had she, which raised the panic level for both of us to dizzying heights. It was a frustrating morning of phone calls and research and begging for an appointment sooner than a week from next Wednesday when I heard a crash from the living room, followed by a loud cry, followed by the appearance of my daughter at the door with blood flowing in copious amounts from her nose. The most vivid recent reminder of my current place in the world - my position in the middle of a generational sandwich that requires a heaping portion of my love and attention on a regular basis - was when I spent a morning recently, dialing for orthopedists to look at my mom’s wrist. I’m a single mom raising a beautiful little girl on my own, and that means juggling a lot. Right now, she’s recovering from a broken wrist she got as the result of a fall in front of the Metropolitan Museum last month. My mom, living on her own for the first time in her life, in the New York City apartment I grew up in and that she shared with my dad for 35 years, is unsteady on her feet due to spinal stenosis. He does not even know his family when we visit him. Now, he has been reduced to a mostly mute wheelchair dweller in a nearby nursing home, a victim of a brutal disease known as dementia.
