Bizarre

My colleague had a conversation with the hospital. She was told that without the surgery the hospital fore-casted just 2 more months to live. Now Bea could live up to 6 months. Problem is that she has to make a choice whether she should be taken care of in a hospice (when people are going to die and need much care they can be hospitalized in such a hospice), or in a nursing home. Home might be out of reach as the situation is like today, or what I described yesterday.

This news came to me as a sort of breaking news. Our chief called us to tell it in one time to us all. It struck me, but other colleagues too I think. One was suddenly ill. Okay, the flu is going around these days.

It's strange, 2 months ago Bea walked around at the office. She worked between her chemo therapies. Then after 2 weeks vacation in Greece she came back with a very hard -turtle-skin. She was hospitalized had new chemo therapy and then it went downhill quickly. And now they think about a hospice. This is awfully bizarre.
