“She went in for the scan – but the people there could not keep her on the gurney. She was raving like a crazed woman – she knew they would give her morphine and was afraid she’d never regain consciousness. She kept getting off the cart as they were wheeling her out. Finally three people were holding her gently and saying, “Come on Gilda. We’re just going to go down and come back up.” She kept saying, “Get me out, get me out!” She’d look at me and beg me, “Help me out of here. I’ve got to get out of here.” And I’d tell her, “You’re okay honey. I know. I know.” They sedated her, and when she came back, she remained unconscious for three days. I stayed at her side late into the night, sometimes sleeping over. Finally a doctor told me to go home and get some sleep. At 4 am on Saturday, I heard a pounding on my door. It was an old friend, a surgeon, who told me, “Come on. It’s time to go.” When I got there, a night nurse, whom I still want to thank, had washed Gilda and taken out all the tubes. She put a pretty yellow barrette in her hair. She looked like an angel. So peaceful. She was still alive, and as she lay there, I kissed her. But then her breathing became irregular, and there were long gasps and little gasps. Two hours after I arrived, Gilda was gone. While she was conscious, I never said goodbye.”

Good nurses are important. Good husbands are a gift. Always love you, brave Gilda. 

24 years ago today, Gilda Radner lost her battle with ovarian cancer. Today’s mix is a tribute to her.

This week’s “Mix Monday” (on my 8tracks) is dedicated to Gilda. For those of you who have been following me for awhile, the tracklist is almost identical to the “Songs About Gilda” mix we compiled last year. (I swapped out the original Home for the RAC mix, and KT Tunstall got cut in favor of Let’s Talk Dirty To The Animals.) 

The download link on the original playlist should still work for anyone who’d like to snag it ♥
