I agree. My sister-in-law was in Hospice and they were so wonderful to her.Sharon This email is a natural hand made product. The slight variations in spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no way are to be considered flaws or defects. update

Hi all,Not quite sure when I wrote last. Days are kind of fuzzy here. I know I have missed sooooo many posts and am sooo far behind with everyone and I am so sorry for that. I hope everyone is doing and feeling well.MIL is not having radiation. She has 2-3 months left. We are hoping to find a room through Hospice at a place called the Siegenthaler Center. It is a beautiful facility and has RN's and CNA's on staff 24/7. They have their meals prepared and get the meds they need. When it comes time they can get meds to be made comfortable. She will have her own room which will be big and private for her. She will also be able to have her own food, whatever she likes and she can eat whenever she likes, a BIG plus for her, as she is a night owl!!!She has signed the DNR form and has been removed from the heartmonitor. She joked and said if she knew that's all it would take toget that off of her she would have done that a long time ago,lol!!!She is still on the oxygen though. She still struggles to breathe andher blood count of course was extremely low. She is bleedingeverywhere in her body. You'd think she would drown in her own bloodbefore the cancer kills her. They are transfusing her, she still iscoughing up blood but not as much.My idiot BIL has finally realized the finality of her situation butis more concerned with HIS situation. He acts concerned about herwhen around her. When we told her about the stage 4 and the potentialfor success even with treatment he got teary eyed. As he was leavinghe asked his sister to come into the hall and started panickingsaying he couldn't pay for the rent on the house, the electric bill,water bill, garbage bill, phone bill, cable bill, blah blah blah. Hehas to move out of there, what is he going to do? She was pissed tosay the least. God, she's not even gone yet!!!! Roxanne yelled at himand said, she wasn't going to rent a dumpster tomorrow!!!What he is going to have to do is GROW UP!!! He is 48 YEARS OLD!!!!What age do you become a MAN???? He pays for a car, insurance andsome of his own food. Gas, his cigarettes, and golf. The bulk of hismoney gets pissed away(sorry) at the local bars and gambled awaythere and at the casino. He could have at least $50,000 saved in thebank after all these years living at home. I WISH I had a tenth ofthat right now. I just want to grab him and shake him so hard!!!! Alittle angry, can you tell???? It does no good. We figure he'll beliving out of his car. Of course, his mother is worried the mostabout him. She told me to make sure the family didn't fall apart,that we stuck together and saw each other. We don't see each othernow, why would things be different after? doesn't get alongwith his brother anymore, they are completely opposite, thank God. sees Roxanne. Oh well.I went to have my foot looked at finally after a week of pain. Iknow, I know!!! I have an infection in my big toe that has spread.Don't ask me how I got it, haven't a clue. I'm on antibiotics and shegave me pain pills but they make me itch. Not good with pain pills,lol!!! Hurts like heck when I walk so I didn't go to the hospitallast night. Couldn't sleep last night so will be tired today. Got myshot sites all screwed up, but I am taking them, some later than others, don't know what's up or down. I feel like I'm waiting for the wall to fall down on me!!!!We are still going to camp this weekend. We have to get away. This iss only vacation and 's weekend off and we are havingZack's birthday party with the family up there. I hope the weather isgood for us.I don't know if I said anything but Zack has been put on Focalin XR.He has to have the pill opened and we put it in a little soda and hedrinks the beads down fast. He doesn't have the outbursts any morelater in the day, but he seems to be a little more aggressive whenthey do come. Is that normal with Focalin does anyone know? I'mwondering if it's that or if it's just the fact that what's going onand we aren't around alot lately. He did tell my stepmother that helikes to make Mommy and Daddy mad at him. She asked him why and hejust said I don't know. Very interesting.We did finally get the money, they had to wire it into our acct. and they waived the stop check fee of $50 for us. We couldn't cash it because in NY if a check is made out to both people, both people have to appear on the acct. The only acct. we have together is the one that is frozen. The other one we have is at another credit union but we only have a samll savings there and they were going to put a 10 day hold on it because of the size and the fact that it was an out of state check and not an official bank check. NYS banking laws, very strict. We did get to pay our bills though so that is ok for now. The other acct. is still frozen until we pay the rest of that debt off which is about $2500.OK, all, I have a ton of laundry to fold if we are going anywherethis weekend. Poor Zack has no shorts to wear!!! is going topick up his Sgts. uniforms, another thing I'm not looking forward to,sigh.Miss you guys. Thank you so much for all your prayers and thoughts. Sorry these are always so long!!!!Love to all,Peggy
