Jake with another update.
The care team at the inpatient hospice facility was able to improve Nancy’s comfort level, and she was discharged this afternoon. We have some revisions to her medication plan, and we now have a diet plan. Nancy seemed to enjoy the Jell-O provided at the hospital, so it looks like I’m going to be adding a Jell-O-making task to my list of regular duties. That one seems more fun than making juice popsicles, but not quite as much fun as crushing ice.
Nancy’s spirits are good. She’s glad we made the decision to get admitted and address her discomfort. The inpatient facility is located in Kirkland, a city that holds a special place in our hearts. Nancy bought a condo in downtown Kirkland in 1998, and I moved in with her (and Rose, our first bulldog) after we married in 2001. The 3 of us lived happily there until we bought our current house in 2004. We don’t make it back to the old neighborhood much, so I decided to take Jojo (bulldog #2) for a walking tour while we were waiting for Nancy to be discharged this morning. After giving Nancy a report of our adventures in downtown Kirkland, Nancy and I spent an hour reminiscing about the first few years of our marriage in Kirkland. We enjoyed that walk down memory lane immensely.
When Nancy regains her energy, I’ll see if she’d be willing to share a message on the blog. So check back!
