It's bestowed, like a benediction. We got a 9 x 12 envelope with a strong magnet for the refrigerator.
7:30 pm - 1st dose of morphine to relieve the pain of angina.
The morphine takes effect quickly; there's a slight euphoria. Having signed my death warrant - the agreement to receive services - the relief from pain reminds of Faust's pact w the devil.

Thanks for giving me my only peek into my sister Michele's life these last few years. And thanks for sharing authors, photos and observations - you've broadened my horizons. I will keep you in my practices. What an adventure you are on now. Peace out - Janine
ReplyDeleteThe morphine suppositories are the best. Peace.
ReplyDeleteOMG! & LOL! What a thing to look forward to!

It's almost 1:30 am Friday and the attending is coming by at 1:00 this afternoon. I'm thinking I'll schedule MAID for the 1st of July. I figure by then I'll have lost 10 pds and be on a regular regimen, or I'll have deteriorated into apathy and "nodding" and be ready to throw in the towel.
You say you've been through this several times? Surely there's more than rectal morphine? I'm already bored with it; it clogs my thinking and offers only vapid "movies."
