I'm sorry, Catrin. I hope they can make her more comfortable.

Catrin, I haven't been around so I missed this, I'm so sorry to hear of your moms struggles. Warm peaceful thoughts headed her way.

Thanks Pax! She MIGHT get to go home tomorrow if things continue as they are, they seem to have finally found the right mixture to get her pain under control.
That's great news! Hoping for the best, for you both.
They keep trying to release her, and then other things happen. So she is still in the hospital after 2 weeks, and I am headed home to see her tomorrow.
Today, instead of trail running or riding I am in the office furiously trying to get a current project to a level where my supervisor can take over for me Monday. He doesn't know how to do what I do for the most part...but he is learning His responsibilities are very different from mine - as I am sure is normally the case. I AM going to my usual Sunday Funday workout before leaving tomorrow though, more for stress relief than anything - and I doubt I will have a chance to workout while I am gone outside of some quick and dirty bodyweight work in the morning - AND my squat challenge. I MIGHT go for a light trail run this evening, but we will see. I only slept 4 hours last night so my body might not appreciate that.

She went home Monday while I was there. I left yesterday (Wed) to come home and she was fine. Halfway through my 7 hour drive she was back in the ER with what turned out to be pneumonia. She passed at 6:30 this morning, and I return home tomorrow
My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Oh, Catrin. I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to you. I know the relationship wasn't an easy one at times, but it sounds like you reached a certain peace with her within the last few years. I hope that gives you some comfort. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs to you.
