It was a year ago today.....I remember oh so clearly, and yet at the same time, oh so cloudy. It could be that I am being selective in what I am remembering.
"There are rules about injecting morphine." the nurse had told me. She had already received the allowable dose of the drug. Yet the periods of comfort were shortening and the pain she was feeling was evident.
"We could add it to the oxygen. It would make her more comfortable." she told me. I guess that wouldn't be against the rules. Be damned the rules. Make her time preparing for death comfortable as it can be.
And so it was.
24 hours later, she was more comfortable than she had been in years.
Miss you, sweetie.
