Connie is talking a little, but she’s very confused. She knows who we are, but not how she ended up in a bed, practically unable to move. She thinks either that she was badly beaten up or in an accident, and has no recollection of the whole cancer issue.
I tried to explain things to her, and she was saying ‘what about the doctors’; it was very very hard to tell her that the cancer had spread too far, and that the doctors had said that there was nothing they could do for her aside of keeping her comfortable.
That sort of thing is something you don’t want to hear over and over again.
