The Red Brick Times

Linda decided she wanted to memorize the Greek alphabet. So she did. She also wanted to see how many of the books of the Bible she could recall ("I used to know all of them, you know.") and rattled them off to me while I sat there and tried not to look too lumpish and dull. Her mind is sharp.

Linda will leave home ioon to enter residential hospice care. Friends and family, though willing, are simply not strong enough to help her up when she stumbles. She cannot be left alone. Her palliative care physician said yesterday that her metastasis "is the worst possible kind" at this stage, as far as the devastating side effects. She was warned to expect complete blindness or deafness.

We must now count in days.
