Going Home

Things seem to be set up.

We'll go downstairs Real Soon Now for the first of what should be five radiotherapy treatments. Someone from Hospice will be here around 12:30 to take out her IV, and change to a morphine PCA that is administered subcutaneously. That will be more stable than the IV, but it means the only fluids she'll get are what she can take by mouth, and that hasn't been going so well. That puts us much more on the 'days' than 'weeks' side of the prognosis. If you want to stop by before dp's Next Great Adventure, I'd plan on doing it pretty soon.

At this point, I'm thinking we'll do the Memorial service much like Shorty's, which includes scheduling it a couple weeks out. That will give those of you who do want to engage in our very informal process of planting a tree and throwing a party a little time to work out logistics.

I haven't allowed myself to go here before now, so those plans are very tentative. I'll post more as we develop a plan.

Meanwhile, "Real Soon Now" has turned into "Eventually" for the radiotherapy treatment. Since the Hospice person is scheduled to arrive at 12:30, maybe we'll do that first, and RT after that. I don't really care, as long as we're home by this evening.
