Daily Nilknarf Haiku

the soulful sorrow
losing someone that you love...
it's too much to bear.

I was awake until about 04:00 last night, and when the alarm went off at o6:30 I went to pee and then I shut it off and went back to sleep. Until 11:00, when Kim called.

Karen had sent her over to see if I was alive, and I had all of the doors locked so she couldn't get in, even though I gave her a key when we had the locks changed when we moved in.

Karen was looking a little better today, but not much.

And she was feeling a little better initially, and a lot better after she had a shower.

I will go up again in a few minutes.

Kim and I visited Hospice, they have a very nice facility here. I will contact them tomorrow and have them come to the hospital and see what they can do for us.

Karen talked a bit about the things that she won't have to do now... like getting Altzheimers... she was worried about that. And arthritis and all of the other old-age crap.

She has retained her sense of humor, heh.

More later, if I feel like writing when I get back....

....................

22:56...
Just got back from the hospital; Karen seemed to be doing OK, but she asked for her "sleep medicine" when we were visiting with some old friends, Ginny and Bob, who had dropped by.

They finally figgered out what was going on with the temperature changes... she's had a urinary tract infection. No symptoms, but bacteria in her urine on the second test that they did. I was having a hard time figgering out why they were giving her antibiotics last night.

So hopefully getting that treated will help her regain some of her strength... fighting cancer is hard enough without having to have secondary infections.

And I am tired, very tired, and I think that I'll go to bed soon. I need to be in the hospital at 08:00 in the morning, since we have no idea when the doc will be around.

Fuck cancer. Just fuck it.
