She seems to be pretty well over the shingles, so she quit taking the pain medicine for that. Cindy the hospice nurse told her to only take the new pain medicine for the cancer if she is feeling pain. She seems to be doing ok. She was going to try not taking it tonight because it makes her a little sick to her stomach. The cancer is progressing, but now that hopefully the shingles are under control, she really isn't in a lot of pain. She get's winded after walking a bit in the store and is always ready to come home and relax. Tomorrow we will go see Lorraine and go to the library. She's read 3 books she's really liked this week. Her appetite is better and she usually fixes her food in the kitchen, but like to eat alone in her room. She comes out often to visit then goes back and sleeps, watches tv or reads. We try to get out every morning for at least an hour. She loves letters and loves to write back. She loves being in control again and not having to do what the DR wants, even though he's nice. Hospice gives her the opportunity to call the shots.
