Mom is still in the hospital, but seems to be recovering somewhat. She's out of her restraints, is no longer sedated, and is "cooperating". As good as can be hoped for, I guess.
In other news, I was hoping to have Gremlin put to sleep tomorrow afternoon sometime, but it's become quite obvious that any enjoyment he's getting out of life now is so slight that it can't hold a candle to the general misery he's feeling. So today I made an appointment with a mobile veterinarian, and they'll be here around 8 or 8:30. It's strange, having a timeline for his life, now. And it's almost run out. I am so not ready for this.
I am still fighting with myself about what to do with him afterwards. The best thing I can think of is to bury him in the back yard. He's lived 5 good, long years with me here, and I think this place is as much home to him as anywhere. And that's what I keep coming back to - I want him to be *home*. Although this means that I won't be able to bear the idea of moving away - I don't know if I could stand to leave him behind. I am so not ready for this.
