fake out
she's rallying. no oxygen, no morphine, eating (on her own), speaking... i dont know how this bodes for hospice care. i think it's great news, at least for a while. her rate of decline is punctuated with moments of better health. i do wonder if it was finding out that some of my cousins are going to visit which brought her into this better state. the will can be a force with which to be reckoned, and that woman's got a strong one. i think it would be just like her to hear someone was coming and not want to appear as frail as she really is. "who told them i was dying?" indeed.
