Let it be known to the lodge that my mother passed away, peacefully, on Thursday night. She was in full renal failure with other complications from her heart surgery, and she did not want to continue dialysis. She was aware of what awaited her after that decision was made, and after 3 days in hospice, she left us. She died 9 months to the day after my dad did.
My time since January has been divided between my mother and my father in law who has also been in decline. My wife seems to be stable now, losing no more toes, but a cracked vertebrae has left her in quite a bit of pain for the moment.
Myself, I gained about 15 pounds, from all the dining out we've been doing.
Please extend my regards to the lodge, I hope to be able to attend again soon.
