Has it really been six days since I last posted? It has. There hasn’t been much change in the last six days. I’m still doing now what I was doing then. My brother is still hanging in there. He is non-responsive and his time is coming close. We had thought it was close six days ago though.
I’m still thankful for the additional bed at hospice. Other than move in my own pictures and clothes, you could almost call this place my new apartment. It’s actually quite cozy. I have nothing but praise for the staff and the facility.
The only out of the ordinary adventure was New Year’s Eve. I made a quick trip to Phoenix and back. I wanted to change out my suitcase, deliver a prescription I had picked up for Terry …. plus we hoped to move the motorhome closer to Terry’s mom. Thus, I caught the first flight out of Portland. Terry was waiting at the curb in Phoenix for me. We made a trip to Casa Grande where I packed a new suitcase, dropped off Terry’s prescription and hugged Toni and Doug. . It didn’t take long to ready the motorhome for travel. By 1:00 all the necessary chores were done and I was on my way to the airport. By 4:30 that afternoon I was back in Portland and things have continued the same since then.
That’s my short update even though a lot more has transpired with family issues. Isn’t that always the case? I’m hoping my next blog will be more about our trip to “Q” than anything else. That’s what I’m hoping.
