there been any in the house yesterday, I would have searched every

nook and cranny! I had the first really horrible episode of the pain

in my sterum which crossed from the top of my sterum and down to the

both of my left breast. I wasn't concerned at first as I had an

appointment scheduled for 3:30 for a massage and thought she could

work that out. Well, after doing some things on the computer, I

walked five feet into the living room, bent down to pick up a piece

of paper and suddenly I was spinning! Called and cancelled the

massage and then called my doctor's office to see if she could call

in a script. It was her day off and I was very surprised to learn

that she spends her day off visiting her home bound patients and also

going to some of the hospices in the area. The pain did not subside

over night and the phone rang at 9am, waking me up. I was unable to

get to it before it stopped ringing and did not realize that the

caller was leaving a message that I did not want to hear/but on the

other hand I was glad. Once I reached the caller, I learned that my

dear, dear friend since those days when we were in the nursey at

church had died Thursday evening at 7:05pm.

I had presumed (and I know one should never do that but in the case

it seemed natural); anyway, I asked Lola if they had had hospice in

to help with my dearest friend Kasey in the last 3 weeks. Lola

said " No, Terry didn't want them there! "

I do hope that none of those in this group have any idea of the

individuals I am writing about, but I found it pretty terrible that

rather than having hospice come, T and his wife's oldest sister were

her caregivers during the past few weeks! And I don't mean that

Terry might have needed the additional help but that his sister-in-

law was the oldest of three sisters and is now the sole survivor and

that she lost her husband several years ago to cancer, also. So to

me it seemed to have been a very difficult time for L! I know that

in the past, families automatically took care of their families but

for someone to refuse the additional help today seems so unfair to

both the patient and the family.

I also feel as if there is now a hole in my heart where K was for so

many years --- not that's she's still not there, but that we will

never have any more times to laugh and giggle like little girls. One

night I dreamed of her sister and yesterday morning I dreamed of

Kasey --- we were little girls running around in one of the places we

would both have loved so much, a garden full of flowers. I have

been on the phone or sleeping all day and am so glad that the doctor

gave my husband the script, as it is really helping with this nasty

bout with that vicious creature who seems to take over our bodies.
