Graham's mother, Joan, died today. She had recently gone to a nursing home (in Massachusetts) to help her deal with a case of pneumonia, and her doctor thought she had gotten over that. But he recommended she stay in the nursing home to get ongoing care as she regained her balance. She suddenly took a drastic turn for the worse early this morning, lost consciousness, and died very quickly. Graham is very sad that he wasn't able to speak to her one last time, but we're glad that she didn't suffer.
She was a very sweet woman and a talented artist. She was 83. Graham feels so bad that he can't go to her funeral or help his brother with the arrangements. But planes are too germy for him and he just doesn't have the energy to go far from home.
Graham's back pain spread to the other side of his back tonight. A long backrub allowed him to feel better for a short while. He took some pain pills and a sleeping pill, so hopefully he'll be able to sleep through the night and get some relief.
I feel so bad for Graham's brother Gary, who is coping with the loss of his mom and the potential loss of Graham, his only sibling. Thankfully he's very close with his cousins, Karen and Paul.
