"It's For You"

--Staind, "Outside"

I didn't spend much time arguing with Grandma about the necessity of her going back to a doctor to check if her UTI had gone away. This was partially due to the fact that I was busy paying her bills, the fact that my uncle was supposed to be encouraging her to go home with us, and also, I've realized the slow and difficult way that I cannot force my grandmother to care about her health.

"You know, I would like you to see a doctor to decide if your infection has cleared up," I tell her once.

"What infection?" She asks.

"Exactly," I say with futility.
