PEACEFUL

The internet has crapped out here in this room.  I haven’t got the heart to ask the nurses why.  So I am going to do this in my word processor and then try to post down in the lounge.  If it won’t then I must send my lappy home with someone to post.  I wouldn’t want people to get the wrong idea if there isn’t a post!

He is at peace right now, more so than before.  His throat was all gurgly and he couldn’t breath very well.  They have given him something that dries all of that up and he is so much more comfortable now.

Occasionally he kind of moves around distressfully and I call the nurse and while we wait for his meds I just sing and talk to him.  They come and give him another shot and turn him over and he just peacefully drifts off again.

In the night he actually focussed on me for a minute and said “Hi Mom.” in his whispery scratchy voice.  Then he breathed out “Love You”.  If thats the last thing he ever says I will take it.  

I honestly don’t know who I am going to tell everything to.  If anything happened, it wasn’t real until I told him.  We shared absolutely everything.  We were not that couple at the restaurant table not talking.  In fact when our last Price reunion was coming up, he was only thinking about coming.  I wasn’t one to force him into anything I was choosing to do but I knew so many things would happen, and there would be so much gossip that I just wouldn’t be able to properly relay it all with mere words.  So finally I did convince him to come with me so he could see it all for himself and then we could dissect the whole event after.  He LOVED to gossip and as long as it stayed between us, that was okay!

Monte arrived this aft. with all the things I requested for my stay here.  A bag of ritz crackers, a little block of cheese, pop and eight big cold wieners.  There is a little fridge here and I love wieners and ritz.  Mmmmmm.....

I was sitting here this afternoon watching Judge Judy when a young lady came into the room.  You wouldn’t believe what she asked me!!!  “Would someone in here like a hand massage?”   WOULD I????!!!  I haven’t had one of those since I was on the beach in Cambodia!  So she came in and gave me a half hour hand massage and we visited.  I have met so many amazing people in here..all so interesting and kind.  She is a game board freak!!  So she told me all about the game board cafe they have here and all the games they play.  Jealous!!  And the massage was amazing!

So now I must figure out how to get this posted.  TTYL


I see someone left the question about the boondoggle.  I totally forgot so here it is:

Monte has done all my driving.  He drives me here to the hospice and goes and gets everything, ferries people around etc.  So , he is talking to his friend Pat at home (Port Alberni) and Pat tells him he has a letter from ICBC.  Monte gets Pat to open and read it.  Long story short, back in June Monte reported to the Motor Vehicle Branch, when he was renewing his license, that he was on anti psychotic drugs.  What they didn't do was give him a medical form for his doctor to fill out and tell him he had 45 days to do it.  And guess what?  His driver's license was cancelled.  Jeesus Murphy!!!  I am hooped without him doing all the driving!!!  So he 'drove' to the motor vehicle branch the next morning and explained it all to them, and in usual Monte falling a bucket of crap and coming out smelling like a rose, they gave him forty five days again!  He has an appointment with that doctor on the 23rd so all will be well.  I just couldn't wrap my brain around him not being able to do all the errands he does AND I would have to drive HIM around.  Disaster averted.  Sorry, I totally forgot to  finish that post!
