I hit a milestone today—the halfway point of my effort to get some weight off and wear clothes I've not worn for too many years. And I feel great about it. It's been a distraction and a positive, and I need both. I went to SRC early, wanting to observe Linda's condition. She was asleep for the length of my morning, and when the companion arrived, I left to attend to work needs. Work went well. I then returned to SRC and what I found was the worst I've experienced so far. Her deterioration has been an up/down process of a gradual decline. When she's not asleep, she is very incoherent, gazes into the distance, and seems wholly removed. I talked to the staff nurse and her hospice nurse on site, and her Dr via phone. They believe the medication might be a contributor, but the tumor is likely playing a part as well. The drugs typically make a patient less anxious and sleepy, but that does not correlate to her being "out of it" to the degree she is right now. I advised Kathy and the core support team. I want her to be lucid and aware but don't want her to suffer anxiety and distress. All of this is so damned complicated simply because she is as incapable of facing her mortality as I expected she would be from day one. Kathy may have them dial the dosages back a bit, and I'll want to be observing things closely. Watching her go through this is gut-wrenching. In other news, it looks like the "trust attorney" she's working with confirmed what I wrote to her, including that it's a done deal, and he knows Tom Bloom well, too. That's one weight off of my shoulders, and unless something else pops up, we're done trying to ensure that's managed. I finished migrating all bills to KPCU and revised my allocations and deposits to provide proper coverage for expenses. Tommy's been doing well this week as far as our interactions go. Lauren's been acting up a bit, and I'm wondering if it's a defense mechanism. I got her from the library, grabbed in-n-out, dropped the rug doctor off, and returned home. I tackled some paperwork, including my mail-in ballot for the Newsom recall and a change of beneficiary form I need a witness to sign, so I may take it to my mom's tomorrow while I work on the phone setup, having printed the manual. 3rd time's a charm.
