News on my Grandmother — My Dad writes:

The other day we found Mom in Bed without Oxygen or IV. The oxygen was
on the floor-we had them replace it with a new tube, install the IV and
wraop her arm with a bandage to keep her from pulling it out.  Judy has
found her with Honey-water which she is not supposed to have (Nothing
by mouth)

Dr. Hardin said that Monday they will try to
reintroduce some food by mouth. She has been off of food because it was
going into her lungs instead of the stomach.

You see we are both needed just to keep an eye on these people to make sure that they do things that the Dr. has ordered.

Looks very much like we have to put her on Hospice Care probably after
Monday. She is still too weak to do much walking–about 15 ft at the
most and then back to bed. Today, however, we got the Hairdreasser to
shampoo and set her hair for her. It made her feel much better altho I
couldn’t really see where it helped all that much. It did boost her
spirits and that was important.

I have had a major change in fortune, including a quite likely good relationship.  No details, don’t want to jinx it.  But it means moving a long way from Asheville.  If you’re one of my close friends (i.e., regulars, like Irish, Spiky, etc., you know who you are), you’re welcome to email me about it.

Many times we don’t see our own creation; we don’t see our own lies. But sometimes in the reflection of somebody else, we can see our own magnificence. By experiencing the love of another person, we can see how great we are.
