It's amazing what I get done around my house trying to occupy my mind with things other than this update.
Email from Aunt DD today:
Hi,
It was not a banner week for Mom. The pain and nausea have begun. They are taking some meds away and then are adding some meds. All we can really do is comfort measures, treat her symptoms. Of course, the pain meds make her groggy, so she sleeps now most of the time. Leslie has been here all week but has to leave tomorrow.
Keep her in your prayers, because that is a LONG 5 hr ride, by herself, with nothing to do but think. In this week Leslie has been here, Mom has gone from the wheelchair to pretty much bed bound. She's only getting her liquid supplements for nourishment. Sometimes she can't even use a straw, so we may have to look into pain patches if she can't swallow or have the strength to suck on a straw.
It's all so sad. And on it goes.

I'm only a phone call [or email] away. We can talk about random, distracting things like the Sex & the City movie and how hot I think Brad Pitt is (I never have before, just now that he's forty and has 27kids) and about how I can seem to get the zits under control for the first time in my life now that I'm 30. Stuff like that.
Take care you.
CAN'T. Cannot control zits. If it was can, I wouldn't have a problem, now would I?
(BTW, you know how much I love your grandma and it's breaking my heart on many levels. I'll be here for you. For it all.)
