We're at the end of the line. She's not expected to make it past the weekend at this rate. Her decline from semi-alert but confused, to completely out of it was rapid. She can still eat and drink but no longer has any conversation and does not really know much else about what is happening. Though she is generally comfortable when on medication and continues to breath normally. At this point, I'm waiting for "labored breathing" which is apparently what is the last stage of this. When…See More
Kevin J Baird posted a discussionRaspberry Pi
I bought a Raspberry Pi today. Primarily to use it as the mining computer for my ASIC rigs. I had a temptation to get a netbook and use that, since the interface would be more open ended running Windows and everything. But the Raspberry Pi is "neat" and it only runs on 1.5watts to 3watts. Which is ridiculous. In order to get maximum ROI the wattage needs to be low. Hopefully doesn't turn into a nightmare to get up and working. Though there are many straight forward examples. I'm not new…See More

So, after coming home from work on Tuesday, Mom was laying flat resting and they had installed the catheter. While this relieved a lot of the stomach pain she was having (Most pain, unless she moved around and then got shots of back pain.) she appeared very much lethargic and tired.Since then, she's been unable to eat and drink on her own. I have to give her one pill at a time, and feed her, but she doesn't eat much. I believe this is because she has to concentrate to swallow, and that is…See More
Juan Steele posted a discussionHow’s the computer programming field coming along?
A blog post I just read, published back in 2007, about the field of computer programming expressed several traits of irritation that I had previously heard Kevin voice on the podcast.Some of the members on this forum are in the programming field, I think; is the typical job as arduous and unromantic as this blogger depicted the profession six years ago? He describes the knowledge decay unique to this field, along with its low degree of prestige and high susceptibility to “foreignization”. The…See More

Well, this weekend I changed my first diaper. Except instead of a little baby, I have a 150 pound woman who is in pain as I try to move her around. She didn't eat almost anything the last twenty four hours. She complains of stomach pain, however I'm almost certain this is because she is not going pee. I don't know why she is resistant to peeing in the diaper, as I've told her time and again that she should pee in the diaper. She wants to get up and sit on the poo poo pot. Brian, on…See More

Brian is only here for one day, which is Friday. He is not good in situations like this, but he does the best he can. Though he practically ran out of here last Saturday, left his food behind. It's difficult to deal with when someone is in a lot of pain and requires a lot of care.I try to stay focused on one day at a time. I've basically been imprisoned in my Mom's house now for about two months. I figure she has less than a month left. That is very difficult to say, but her mental…See More
