I'm afraid we've now lost her.
Mary had a couple of really dangerous and life-shortening health
problems against her: Type 1 (juvenile onset) diabetes, which was
diagnosed only in her 30s after a miscarriage. when she was found to
have blood sugar of 750 mg/dl (normal levels being 100 mg/dl or so).
After a divorce, she also worsened her situation with acute alcoholism
for several years in the early 1980s (quitting in 1984).
Diabetes is, as I'm sure you know, a keystone health problem, and one
that can lead to many other bad things as complications: blindness,
nerve damage, kidney damage, loss of one's feet and legs because of poor
blood circulation, hearing impairment, cardiovascular disease
(hypertension, strokes, heart attacks), Alzheimer's, skin infections,
etc. It's also highly damaging in itself (but much less if actively
controlled), and I'm sure the heavy alcohol consumption for a few years
made it significantly worse.
