    So....talk about.....CANCER SUPPORT THREAD !!

    Well...... it's been a month since Beth Cazier Smith passed. We are finally getting into some sort of routine without her. It's been a little disconcerting.

    Monday afternoon Beth decided that she needed to get out of bed. She wanted to go outside. She INSISTED that she go outside. She has no idea how difficult that is for us, as she can't stand on her own, and can barely sit upright, but we love her and do what we can. Now for a vent...

    So I REALLY don't know what to think..... two weeks ago the hospice nurse and nurse practitioner both (based on experience and Beth's current situation) that she would go within 7-10 days.

    Beth continues to decline. The hospice team has been very supportive, and they feel it will only be a matter of a few weeks now.

    Its all good. We do our best to take it all in stride. Beth has started to experience some halucinations, or so she calls them. The other day she asked me if there was a car in the family room.....I told her no, and she said that it looked weird for a car to be in the family room, but it looked...

    We are hatching our own. She is getting excited. We are saving up for the first batch of the season, the trial run.... The family room brooder is done except for some paint on the inside to seal things up. It sits across the room from her recliner so she can watch the chicks.
