[...] when the heart attack last year cut off his ability to do, i feared for him. his identity was one based in activity, and i did not think he would brook the loss. yet he did. he made friends with his home care nurse, had her move in back in the winter when he was no longer okay spending the night alone. he made his own decisions, and in the end he spent his last days graciously in his chair, his throne.

just an update…he is doing better in the hospital than we could have hoped. my aunts flew home last night, and my uncle is here from NB, so his four children are around him now and i’ve stepped back a bit.

we are still in a strange limbo…he is doing reasonably well out of the house, but wants to be in the house, and if release becomes a possibility we will need to get a lot of bureaucratic things in place quickly. going back to the house without full-time nursing care isn’t an option any longer.

thanks again, to all, for your patience and love, for abiding with me as i work this through, write it out.
