shed not set aside her calm and peaceful other life , flown three thousand miles , unpacked her bags in a strange room , waded through stacks of insurance and power-of-attorney paperwork just to get josh checked out of the hospital , ridden in the ambulance beside her moaning and doped-up ex-husband and hovered over the home nurse as she got him set-up in his own bed in his own bedroom , then made up the bed in the nursery turned to library beside his bedroom and slept fitfully last night to the sound of joshs snoring and intermittent yips and moans of whatever dream or nightmare or pain he was wading throughnot endured all that just to watch her ex-husband and oldest friend fade away without talk or renewed companionship .
