She's a tough cookie but getting near the end of the road.
I am excited for her re: what comes next. But for now we are focused on the present.
Again...thx so much for your kind words. It means a great deal at a time like this.
Rooster,
I know the feeling. I lost my father almost three weeks ago. He was 91. He too was with hospice care, had to use a walker, had other medical issues. I found him on the floor of his apartment after he had fallen going from the bathroom to his bedroom and broke his other hip (he had already had one hip replacement). He refused to live in an aclf or have a live-in caretaker.
While he was in the hospital, a couple of days before his death, he said he had a talk with his father. My grandfather has been dead for 30+ years.
