It was pretty quick. 5 weeks from diagnosis.
He was able to die at home surrounded by the family. We took turns watching and caring for him the last six days. It was very difficult but I was glad I could be there. I was additional "muscle" since the boyfriend couldn't lift over 10 pounds due to surgery.
From the "when it rains it pours" department: Mom (boyfriend's mom) had been relapsing on her prescription pill addiction. We all knew it and figured we would work on THAT problem once this is all over. This last Friday, the night of the funeral, she has a grand mal seizure in front of me, the boyfriend, sister and granddaughter. We though she was having a heart attack.
After a night in the ER and a day in the hospital she is out. Going in for a 30 day rehab program tomorrow.
I think we are all due for a break.
Thank you for your kind comments.
