Morphine and consumption improved in solid ways since there has been little problem with 30 mg of morphine and this within about eight hours of the start of this day's count. This shows excellent progress toward palliative relief insofar as it won't cure me but it will help me maintain and it does.
Food consumption is definitely improved since I'm just now putting away the third Ensure protein drink since the start of the count today. It's been three or four days since there was success with getting any food into me and you may think this doesn't count because it's not solid food but it's loaded with protein and will do wonders for keeping me alive until Nature otherwise takes its course.
This is good news for anyone contemplating a Rockhouse pilgrimage since it takes a significant step toward ensuring I will still be here.
Zen Yogi: it looks like you start your day in-sync with the daily Blogger reset, Silas
That's true, Yogi, and it may look a little weird ...
Zen Yogi: it looks a lot more weird than that, Brer Silas
(takes a humble bow)
The update from VA about in-home hospice care may sound scary but it's an immense relief since that cuts out hospitals which, in the Rockhouse view, is the ideal way and it also ensures I won't run out of morphine until, as above, Nature takes its course. The sensitivity shown by VA has been extraordinary and the faces on that come from Miss Kersa and Miss Rita.
The additional update regarding VA cremation is also major since there's no money to pay for any type of funerary arrangements.
Zen Yogi: you know you could open a GoFundMe and people would likely support it
I know, Yogi, but the best reason not to do that is sick kids. So long as things seem well in-hand with VA, there's not a reason to do it. I don't believe the obscenity of a gaudy funeral serves anyone well and avoiding that protects Yevette from the mercenary savages who make bank on funeral arrangements.
Zen Yogi: is protection of her the reason for cremation?
Nope but it's an excellent side benefit.
Yevette said she was impressed with my honesty with VA regarding the less than legal use of morphine but I believe it's important and necessary in dealing with medical care providers to give them the whole truth.. She did see one tiny problem, tho:
Yevette: if cops come around here then I'll get busted for providing it but maybe I could tell them you were taking my prescription but I didn't know about it.
Silas: even with the brutality of nark cops, someone would have to be such a monster to bust some old vet who is one step from hospice. They would have no reason to question your story.
Yevette: unless they read your blog
Silas: well, in that case you're fucked
(laughs all 'round)
This world isn't the same as yours, mates ... and I'm damn glad of it. There's an unanticipated freedom in it.
This article will about do it and then I'll get flat again. That's a direct consequence of the morphine but it's acceptable. The pace of the #Blotto articles should also reduce since yesterday revealed a whole lot of significant changes but life can get back to being as mundane as it likes.
Zen Yogi: maybe it's not so mundane when you're publicly living out the story of this
Maybe, Yogi, but it's better without constant updates, mate. Meanwhile, back to flatness for a while.
