I finally was able to get to the hospital today. Dot is resting easily and did recognize me. We had short converstions and I was happy that she knew who I was. Her husband is talking about hospice now.

Every time my cell phone rings, I jump.

Thanks for all the warm, caring posts. You are all truly my dearest friends.
