Journal of a Living Lady #39

Nancy White Kelly

This is a brief up-date. As I write this, I am literally sitting on the edge of my hospital bed using a pen and pad. I have been here nine-days following a sudden turn for the not so good. Instead of heading off to my brother's home and meeting up with my family for Thanksgiving, some are coming here. I am getting this brief respite from the hospital in that no patients or doctors want to be on the premises for the next few days. So much for the holidays.

As said before, terminal illness is roller-coaster ride. Ups and downs. Jump starts. Dead stomps. Shortly I hope to be back again with a welcome leap into the new millennial year and a new chapter in this journal of living and dying.
