despite this dying lark...

Daisy and Boo, Southwold

October 2007 (no date, but around the 20^th)

22:00 - I am not sure I have the inclination to sit and talk into a microphone, so I here I go again

EXCEPT

This will be the last version!!

Sitting in St John’s Hospice*, the nurses are handing over very loudly. I think they have found a spider!!

I have just eaten my 3^rd fig – you would be proud of me Jue (+Mum), but it still hasn’t had quite the moving we wanted!

4am - Often awake at this time for a cup of tea.

13:45 – Jue just gone – with me all morning at the hospice. Had a fab bath and then Jue spent loads of time putting cream on my legs, feet and hands, despite this dying lark, you do have a fantastic excuse to ask people to do things for you.

I am enjoying my close friends and family just being with me; reading, talking amongst themselves, holding my hand, massaging cream into my legs.

17:30 – Managed to get some sleep. RP came into visit for 3 hours. Sad at times. I do believe I will be able to watch over him, But I am not worried about him. I have lost that feeling altogether.
