FYI Update.
Posting because, well, this is how I keep up with a good chunk of you. Comments disabled, because I need the quiet. I don't know how much I'll be around, anyway, because I don't know when or where I'll be needed.
The hospice people came to check on Mom today, confirming what Father and I thought. She is not expected to last much more than another week, if that. I saw her on Saturday, but she was barely conscious and obviously failing. I didn't figure she had much left in her.
When she was last able to communicate coherently she was in no pain whatsoever, and she's being treated for pain anyway just in case, so she is quite comfortable, and she is at home, not the hospital, so this is all that I would have asked for. I'd wish for more time, but I've had that and to spare already, more than I ever expected. Nobody ever really gets enough.
Still, we do everything we can.
