Dying parent

[mindstalk]

Got my mother to consent going to the hospital Monday. Diagnosis isn't final yet but seems to be heading toward a case example of untreated cancer. Masses masses everywhere, not an organ to spare. I've been spending most of my awake time with her, though retreating home to eat and rest and recover, and feeling guilty for doing that much. Yes, it's just me, apart from some phoning friends.

Which hospital? Do you want company?

Swedish Covenant, Foster and California.

I'm doing okay for myself right now. Extra company for her would be good, though I don't know if a stranger would help; novelty is one of the problems now. But I can ask.

Thanks.
