Ducky and Fredrick had reallyplanned the day. First we went to the giant and old Carousel inTilden Regional Park, in the Berkeley hills; we did two rounds on the carousel, and then snacked, "rested," and then continuedon to the "Little trains" which take adults and children and even old adult children through the entire park; we did that; these areopen-air steam trains! Whee!Then we went to watch the horses in their corral at the parkstables and horse-back riding place--we did not ride, even thoughI have spent much of my life riding horses--and then we went fora drive all along Grizzly Peak Boulevard from where we could viewthe entire SF Bay area, and stop from place to place.Then we went to the Lawrence Hall of Science and Museum--wonderful--more fascinating things and, of course, more views.Ducky and Fredrick treated us, so no cost to Edna nor to me.We did this for a number of reasons. Ducky, who is 82, hascancer of the liver and has had all the treatment--save forhospice care, that can be offered her.So, she placed Edna and Fredrick and me on her "bucketlist," and we each vowed to stick with her until the bucket hasbeen emptied. Ducky and I had a long conversation at my placeafter we brought Edna and Fredrick home. Ducky knows thatmy husband, Hans Steinkellner, died of the same condition thatshe has. She asked me whether I would be willing to be with her"until the end." I assured her that I would, knowing that she mayvery well change her mind about that, but I did assure her that Iam willing.Then she wanted to drive past the hospice care place where sheis likely to be taken; it is close enough to where I live that even Icould afford to take a taxi to get there--probably could even getthere in my Power Chair (aka: "speed demon").I told Ducky and Edna and Frederick again about this group andthey all said that when I posted about our Big Day, that I shouldexpress appreciation to each and every one of you from all of us.Love to you all,n, tired, but pleased that the day went so well Send any screenshot to your friends in seconds...

So, Ducky picked me up and we went to get Edna and her son, Fredrick, and off we went. Ducky and Fredrick had really planned the day. First we went to the giant and old Carousel in Tilden Regional Park, in the Berkeley hills; we did two rounds on the carousel, and then snacked, " rested, " and then continued on to the " Little trains " which take adults and children and even old adult children through the entire park; we did that; these are open-air steam trains! Whee! Then we went to watch the horses in their corral at the park stables and horse-back riding place--we did not ride, even though I have spent much of my life riding horses--and then we went for a drive all along Grizzly Peak Boulevard from where we could view the entire SF Bay area, and stop from place to place. Then we went to the Lawrence Hall of Science and Museum-- wonderful--more fascinating things and, of course, more views. Ducky and Fredrick treated us, so no cost to Edna nor to me. We did this for a number of reasons. Ducky, who is 82, has cancer of the liver and has had all the treatment--save for hospice care, that can be offered her. So, she placed Edna and Fredrick and me on her " bucket list, " and we each vowed to stick with her until the bucket has been emptied. Ducky and I had a long conversation at my place after we brought Edna and Fredrick home. Ducky knows that my husband, Hans Steinkellner, died of the same condition that she has. She asked me whether I would be willing to be with her " until the end. "  I assured her that I would, knowing that she may very well change her mind about that, but I did assure her that I am willing. Then she wanted to drive past the hospice care place where she is likely to be taken; it is close enough to where I live that even I could afford to take a taxi to get there--probably could even get there in my Power Chair (aka: " speed demon " ). I told Ducky and Edna and Frederick again about this group and they all said that when I posted about our Big Day, that I should express appreciation to each and every one of you from all of us.

Ducky and I had a long conversation at my placeafter we brought Edna and Fredrick home. Ducky knows thatmy husband, Hans Steinkellner, died of the same condition thatshe has. She asked me whether I would be willing to be with her"until the end." I assured her that I would, knowing that she mayvery well change her mind about that, but I did assure her that Iam willing.Then she wanted to drive past the hospice care place where sheis likely to be taken; it is close enough to where I live that even Icould afford to take a taxi to get there--probably could even getthere in my Power Chair (aka: "speed demon").I told Ducky and Edna and Frederick again about this group andthey all said that when I posted about our Big Day, that I shouldexpress appreciation to each and every one of you from all of us.Love to you all,n, tired, but pleased that the day went so well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky is so very blessed to have you as her friend. How honoredyou must feel that she wants you by her side the rest of this chapter of her life.Please send my good wishes to all, and prayers from here for dear Ducky.love,KateFrom: marion j rojas To: MSersLife Sent: Sun, May 15, 2011 5:15:34 PMSubject: A jaunt: update on n, Edna and friends Yesterday, Saturday, a dear friend of mine, , who iscalled "Ducky," phoned and proposed a jaunt: a "Big Kids' DayOut" with her and her big car and Edna and Edna's elder son.So, Ducky picked me up and we went to get Edna and herson, Fredrick, and off we went. Ducky and Fredrick had reallyplanned the day. First we went to the giant and old Carousel inTilden Regional Park, in the Berkeley hills; we did two rounds on the carousel, and then snacked, "rested," and then continuedon to the "Little trains" which take adults and children and even old adult children through the entire park; we did that; these areopen-air steam trains! Whee!Then we went to watch the horses in their corral at the parkstables and horse-back riding place--we did not ride, even thoughI have spent much of my life riding horses--and then we went fora drive all along Grizzly Peak Boulevard from where we could viewthe entire SF Bay area, and stop from place to place.Then we went to the Lawrence Hall of Science and Museum--wonderful--more fascinating things and, of course, more views.Ducky and Fredrick treated us, so no cost to Edna nor to me.We did this for a number of reasons. Ducky, who is 82, hascancer of the liver and has had all the treatment--save forhospice care, that can be offered her.So, she placed Edna and Fredrick and me on her "bucketlist," and we each vowed to stick with her until the bucket hasbeen emptied.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 omg kate! what an awful situation you're having. I sure hope it subsides soon~ Pain is one thing but freaky pain is double the toil~ and a 'bit behind' about sums it up. I came on today after checking in the early am and now I have 49 emails waiting for me to go through, gracious! Had two appts that took me from home, that'll teach me!DeeTo: MSersLife Sent: Tue, May 17, 2011 1:26:57 PMSubject: Re: A jaunt: update on n, Edna and friends Sorry, n, but I'm a bit behind in my emails...just getting to this now.What a splendid, and very full (and I'm sure exhausting!) day you spent withyour friends.
