Hi Helen, I am so much more comfortable, and will have my first visit tomorrow from the Hospice aide. She'll shower me, get me something easy to eat, and then (or in some order) get me back into the chair or in bed. This business with hospice is totally in order to get help while I'm doing pretty well--still able to talk, use my typing fingers... My doc, the pulmonary one, said in February he thought I'd be around more than 6 months, while Phil agreed with him and I was supposedly talking with the PT. I know Phil didn't want to think 6 mos. or less is a possibility, but was firm on getting started. It always begins with chaos of a sort...and I wanted that done while I can still sit up and talk.
Your offer of Reiki is something I know nothing about, but I do have strong faith in the Lord, with lots of peace. I love the tea party thread, too, Helen. It's very like getting together in a little outside market, sitting under an umbrella and shooting the breeze.
