Today, Kitty is posting this for me. Ive been having a hard time keeping between my physical strength and my mental clearness together to do much blogging and have also been very confused about how I've been feeling and doing. Im really sorry to say that I find no way to death with diginity i nthe few minutes that Im able to grab where I feel like I can think reasonably I end u pgetting numb by the pain medication and the pain that comes if I dont take them.

I truley wish I could be dead now. dont tell anyone. I've been getting wonderful support from Gail from various peole who have come to the house to help like Karen, Charla, Kitty and Polly, Max has been a joy, my family, Ben, Megan and the people IN THE  familY have made strong efforts to support me.

 I have a new health aid named Rosie. Who has been doing a great job of supporting Gail and Karen during this time but the economics are devastating. What turned out to be an effort to show  that one could die with dignity has turned out to be a bit of a joke. We do our best to maintain a normal household and I am so well supported by loving friends.

But there is no end in sight and as far as I can see no relief.

Thank you for everything you've done keep up im sorry to soud so weak, but its the way I've been feeling the last weeks. I know everyone has to get on with their own lives. i've been doin some drawing that has helped me express my feelilngs and its been interesting and helped me get to my deep down feelings. There seem to be many things on the internet that would be good for me to look at, but Im having trouble reading what these things are between glasses and oxygen. Oxygen depravation.

I'll try to keep posted as I can be more lucid and thank you for checking in with me.

You're always in my thoughts. Maybe that sounds strange, but it's true.

I'm glad you're doing some drawing.
Sending love. Our lives are going on anyway and you are not taking up too much space or time. Dying is hard. I know it doesn't feel dignified; I can hear you saying that. But you are doing and continue to do a good job of it, as well as grabbing what living you get to do now.
THanks Scott, for sharing the real nitty-gritty of your life and death experience right now. We all have to go through our versions one day and I am sure that your sharing will be of benefit to someone as they pass through that gate.
I am sorry about the agony of it all. Even just having a bad cold or a bad case of the flu~ which are NOTHING in relation to what you must be going through~ are dignity killers, so I can only take those flu kind of feelings and try to mutiply that a kazillion times to imagine what your dying process must feel like.
Helpless, I imagine. And yet you have shared so much. Your life enriches mine, all of ours.
Thank you again Scott, and know that you will be remembered.
You HAVE had dignity, Scott, through this whole thing. I have been amazed and uplifted by your courage and gratitude to those around you and by the beautiful reflections you have shared from your life in general. Know that, no matter how bad you are feeling, you are embraced by the spirit of love and will continue to be held by that love, now and forever more.

Thinking of you as life goes on and on. Somehow it makes my life's little trials seem really little. Thanks for helping me keep it all in a real perspective. We will invoke your name and drum a little extra for you tonight. Gene
