Sunday Evening
I was stiff and sore this morning but I did go for a short walk. This afternoon I asked Toby if the post office was within walking distance. He said, " Just at the top of the road!" and proceeded to walk me up and down more hills!
We went to the hospice to pick Victor up and Robbie has had a calm day. She has been given something to keep her calm and she has slept most of the day.Victor said the hospice nurses and workers are in and out all afternoon checking on her.She has lost a lot of weight . The hospice is St. Margaret’s probably after St. Margaret of Cortena {1247-1297} who established an order of nuns to look after the sick and dying.
We went to a local pub and had a very nice meal. I am full and am forcing myself to stay up until 10 pm. {One more hour to go!} I haven’t looked at the pedometer and won’t until I go to bed but I know it is not 12000 steps. However, although I did very little today, I am as tired as if I have worked all day.
Robbie’s body is still breathing but she has gone. She opens her eyes but doesn’t see us.
I am ready to go home. My ticket is for next Sunday, a week from today.
Number of Steps on the pedometer for yesterday: 12644
Yes, I know I wrote it down yesterday but I am proud of it!
I’m sorry. {{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}

I am so glad things are peaceful for your sister. Oh, when I read of her hospice care, how I wish things had been like this for my Brother. I am thankful that they are this way for her and her loved ones! It is such a blessing. I’m glad, too, that you have had time for some nice walks, etc., while there. hugs, Weesprite

Oh, dear Patricia, what a difficult phase in your life… I’m glad Roberta did know you and talk with quietly when you first arrived… and you have told that you had made your goodbyes… I wish you will have another chance to say goodbye again, but I think that is my wishful thinking…,

What a difficult time…I am happy for both of you that she was able to hang on long enough to connect with you again. This must be a terribly difficult time.

Oh dear. But you did get some good days at the beginning, and she KNEW that you were there.

I imagine that a hospice much be much quieter than a regular hospital. I don’t know how anyone can sleep in a hospital with the bells, beeps, and noise of visitors.

I am so very sorry for you and your sister and her family. I can’t imagine what torture this must be, but all of you are in my prayers and thoughts. And you have a right to be very proud of those 12K steps, that’s quite a bit!
