another quick update
I keep wanting to write a big post but keep feeling not quite up to it.
Long story short - I am home, with hospital bed in my living room downstairs. I am now under hospice care, which means no further treatment. However, This does not mean (no promises, mind you) that I'm dying tomorrow. Right now there is a rush of visitors and I suspect this is what they believe -- if we don't see her RIGHT NOW they will miss their chance. Whereas it could be as much as six months. No pain, just exhaustion. Much exhaustion -- an outing upstairs is a really big deal and I didn't manage it today, despite the lure of a shower.
Anyway, that's where we are. I am still trying to wrap my head around what's happening. One of these days, I promise, a real post.
