Not much has happened since the last update.  My one Aunt (Rosie) went back to Germany.  My other Aunt informed me that she's going to stay about another two weeks.  However she hasn't scheduled her flight yet.  I think she wants to wait a while longer and see how rapidly my Mom's condition deteriorates.  It's something where she doesn't want to stay if my Mom will live for six months or more.  But if she's going to die in a few weeks, she'll stay.  Which makes sense.

If she does leave, I'll have to move in with my Mom until she passes.  That'll be difficult, especially if she's in a coma like condition because that'll mean I'll have to clean up shit and and such.  Hooray for me.

Right now, she is ok, but she seemed to be more confused the last time I saw her.  I will go over on Thursday to try and get a bank thing worked out with her.  Though, at this point she's almost useless to get any info from anymore.  She just can't remember anything I need her to remember.  She tries but it doesn't come to her.

Otherwise, she has some slight headaches but nothing else really bothering her.  

In the meantime, I'm trying to get money transferred over in her accounts to pay for the funeral arrangements.  I hope to have that figured out by Thursday so I can proceed with it.  I figure the funeral is going to cost about $20,000.

Twenty thou, Jesus. How do grown-ups make so much money? Best wishes from me, I hope the process doesn't ruin you for a short while like the last time. Get Brian to help you with managing the funeral process.

Really? Twenty Thou? I doubt either of my parent's funerals cost nearly that much.

$10-$15k. Why is it soooo much? D:

It's the burial part that's the expense really.  And a nice casket.  Adds up.  Hopefully I can get the price down when I actually sit with them and go over everything.  This was just a pre-planning form they had and I am certain there is some haggle room.

Cancer Update for 05/18/2013

  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

Raspberry 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

Cancer Update for 05/08/2013

  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

How’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

Cancer Update 05/06/2013

  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

Cancer Update 05/02/2012

  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
