Flowers From Ann

This beautiful basket of flowers came yesterday - from my dear friend Ann B. in England. It's amazing how well those flowers held up during that 6000 mile flight! LOL. Thank you so much my friend and a big kiss to Jules and Holly - I love you all xxx

Each day gets a little harder. My arms are very stiff from my arthritis - it flared up badly when I got this virus. This means that trying to change blue sheets and diapers has become a bit of a nightmare - to the point that brings me to tears at times. But, I must carry on.

They (the big THEY) (the hospice care) has increased Mr. Indi's morphine to 45mg every 8 hours plus sublingual as needed. This, in conjunction with the gabapentin has made him a little bit loopy at times - I find him singing and talking to himself - and his imaginary friends - Oh dear!

Today, we had a meeting with a financial advisor that had been referred to us from Mr. Indi's work. She was a very pleasant and knowledgeable attorney from New York who advised us what would happen to Mr. Indi's pension and savings ($7.50) when he dies. It seems that I will be worth about $10 - after funeral expenses! I told him that I will save some money by floating him down the Santa Ana river on a barge - aflame! He quite liked the idea. Flaming arrows and all of that!

The weather can't seem to make up it's mind - it's not quite hot - but it's not quite cold. I am looking forward to a bit of heat - my poor old bod could use the vitamin D. I did manage to water all of my pots yesterday - some of them are very sad! (read DEAD) But, I am hoping that once this virus has gone, I will be able to have a good go with the secateurs and Miracle Grow. My philosophy with plants is grow or die - I don't care! Please yerself!
