Hi Teresa, just wanted to update you on my journey of my transition to hospice.

It’s been two months, and praise the Lord, I am feeling great. No distressing symptoms, no digestive problems. The stent is doing it’s job and I’m back to eating pretty much what I want to. My weight has stabilized, not gaining but not losing either. I was pretty tired after being in the hospital for the stricture, but now my energy has returned. The nurse comes once a week and all my vital signs have been excellent. I thought it would be a gradual slope, but she says it’s more like you feel alright until you don’t.

I thank God for the good days He’s given me, and pray I’ll be just as thankful for the not so good days to come.

In the meantime, I’m tying up loose ends.
Planned and paid for my funeral, updated my will, and have been enjoying seeing family and friends who live far away.

So many people don’t have the chance to say “goodbye” and I am blessed that I do.
