Long, Warm Days...

Leslie's been after me to post something to the blog, if only to say that she's comfortable at home, and getting great care from the hospice organization, as well as from visiting friends and family.  She sleeps quite a bit, and we're trying to cut back her pain meds just a touch, to see if that wakes her up.

Usually, she gets up in the morning, dresses and comes downstairs for the day.  In the recent hot weather we've had here, she sometimes sits on the porch, but often she holds court in the living room hospital bed.

Caroline and I work nearby, and we have friends in as often as possible, as Leslie likes the sound of voices even when she isn't awake enough to participate in the conversation.

Emily is back at Pitzer and working on her newest piece of choreography, Caroline is headed to Boston on Saturday, and Leslie and I will share a few days on our own before the next visitors arrive.

As we all fill the quiet days, it seems everyone in the house is learning new skills.

More soon.
