UPDATE ON MIL:
Hubby called his Sis & latest is that she has good days & bad days. Some times she refuses to get out of bed. Other times bearing weight or just sitting is ok for short times. Because of her Alzheimer's she keeps asking about the cast on her wrist tho'. Hubby doesn't think enough to discuss things like medication & safety issues with his sis' - but at least he called. (Even if was after me telling him too do so a few times).

Update on daughter's father/my ex:
1/17 admitted to local hospital & had needle stuck in liver & bag to drain toxins. They couldn't change his stint since cancer has grown all around it. Then 1/22 they sent him to Boston, MA hospital to have the stint chg'd by more experience Dr.s. That operation was 1/24 & he was home by 9AM 1/25.

Daughter said they explained to him next place the cancer would probably grow is his intestines & he'd no longer be able to eat.She also said the Dr.'s gave him 6 wks to 3 months!! He wants Daughter to be his medical proxy, yet no paperwork has been signed.

He has Dr appt on Mon. 1/29 to "discuss options". Not sure if that means "radiation next" or stopping all chemo for quality of life issue. This is what happened to my mom & my older bro' when lung cancer spread to thier brain. My daughter is well aware that is probably what will be discussed with her father on 1/29.

She says he's "still" in denial about his illness & went away with girlfriend this weekend to a cabin they frequent regularly. Daughter said she thinks "he's hiding out there". I told her previously that I thought he wants to die there, she agrees.
