Mom had a good last two nights of sleep. I found that setting an alarm and waking her up for her pain meds made a difference. She slept about 8-9 hours each night with this regime.
Yesterday she woke up all piss and vinegar and I was excited to see her getting up and about with relative ease. About mid-day she had a slip as she spiked a short fever which made her very tired. She had trouble getting up and down as a result and that made things harder for the rest of the day. Today has been hard because of her weakness, although pain hasn't been that terrible.
Her appetite has been the shining point the last few days, as she eats everything in sight. This unfortunately seems to have also filled her colon and she's been constipated in a very bad way. This I feel has made her pain episodes worse and her strength lower as well. She is taking senkotat to combat and is hoping for a breakthrough this afternoon.
-this is dated info now, i though it got posted.
I talked to Mary and Kathy the hospice nurse and apparently she's doing a little better. She is very tired and weak though and I'm hoping another day will bring her back to how she was on Sunday morning.

Hi Si,
trying to figure out how to make an original post rather than just a piddle of a comment here. Seems like you and Di are the only ones who know how. Everyone else is only commenting on your posts.... Can you enlighten me and others...
love the info and connection to you and all...
love from alaska covered in layer of ice...
hey Jen
Si has to send you a special invite to be able to post your own posts.
Otherwise, the comment portion is where you can write anything you like and it will get read by whoever is reading this.
much love to you up there in the tundra from down and over here chillin' in the hood.
