[Gen.Blather]

The first my friend’s wife knew she had bone cancer, she rolled over in her sleep and a ligament in her shoulder tore loose from the bone. The result was fantastic pain. She died in a few months.

My aunt also died of bone cancer. My uncle, a contractor, built a rail system in the bedroom ceiling so he could put her in a sling to move her around, including onto a balcony he built off their bedroom. Don’t recall much else about that one, but it was a miserable way to die.
