Oh boy. What happened? Or was it any one thing.

Nothing bad interpersonally. Dory's HIV-related polymyositis has gone end-stage; the muscles that manage his digestion and breathing have begun to fail. Because of this, he's been aspirating water and developed pneumonia. At this point, arrangements are being considered for home hospice care, and it's unclear how long he'll be able to live. I took my cello out of the house because I never know when Dory's sister will show up and get grabby before Dory's passed. I still have more stuff to move out of the house and we have to decide what to do with the garden if Tony decides to go back to Pennsylvania after Dory ies. More stuff than I can even think of right now.

Oh my god, yes I know how that goes. Damn. Wish I could help!
