My oldest sister phoned me last night to tell me that she just heard that
my
sister-cousin Linda (who has terminal lung and stomach cancer) has been
taken to pallative care at the hospital now as she can no longer care for
herself. Apparently she has been in so much pain that she was taking
more
medication than she was supposed to take, and it was making her groggy...
and she almost set fire to the apartment a couple of times. Her friend
called and had Linda taken to the hospital... Linda's son was at work and
is
pretty upset about it.

Linda had hoped to at least last long enough to spend one more Christmas
with her son, now it isn't looking good. Please send out good vibes to
the
universe, and prayers if you are so inclined. Although they may not be
able
to extend Linda's life much longer, please pray that she may find peace
from
all the pain, and that she will be surrounded by love of her family and
friends... and that her final journey will be peaceful.

Awww, Gemini, I am sorry to hear this. Even though she is in the best
place
for her right now, it must have felt like giving up. My prayers will
continue.

Higs,
Katherine

Thank you, Katherine! Not even sure if we can make it to see her, that's
the hardest part. I hate thinking of her being in the hospital thinking
nobody cares, even though she *knows* we love her and do care very much for
her. ( We are working on trying to come up with the money for gas to
go see her, but for right now, it doesn't look too promising.

*hugs*
