Linear-Marisol Garza
AVAILABLEHome care aide
LOCATION
Linear Austin
Personality
Practical, warm with patients, sharp with bureaucracy. Has the kind of patience that comes from measuring ankles and tracking edema daily — the patience of someone who knows that small changes matter and that most people do not notice them until it is too late. Gets angry quietly. Channels frustration into meticulous record-keeping rather than confrontation. Laughs easily but trusts slowly.
Background
Trained as a CNA at Austin Community College. Works for a home care agency that contracts with Care Compacts to provide services to elderly Linears. Her grandmother was one of the first in the family to Refresh — it broke something between them that neither can name. Marisol chose Linear partly because she could not afford Refresh and partly because watching her grandmother become biologically younger than her mother felt wrong in a way she is still trying to articulate. She measures Mrs. Delgado ankles every Tuesday and Thursday. The numbers tell her things the patient will not say.
CULTURE
East Austin Latino community, second-generation Linear by choice and economics. Active in her Care Compact as an informal health monitor. Grew up Catholic, still attends Mass, increasingly conflicted about a Church that has not taken a position on Refresh.
WHY THIS NAME
Linear- prefix marks her as aging naturally in Austin naming conventions. Marisol is a common name in the East Austin Latino community. Garza is her maternal grandmother surname — she took it after her grandmother Refreshed and the family split over it.
