January 17, 2009

This morning Phil decided to get up at 4:30 am. I told him yesterday that if he lived one more day I would have to shave him again. He always says that you should not let a woman next to you with sharp objects. I guess he felt he got up at that time of the morning I would not be interested in shaving him and he would get out of it for another day.

Well when he woke he asked to go potty. We did that and he asked me if he was still alive. When I told him he was he said "shit". Then he asked what time and day it was and wanted some water. After several sips of water he requested pain medication. I fell asleep for a while and he reached over and hit my hand and wanted to know where his glasses were. I had put them aside because he was sleeping all the time. He use to tell me he needed them to see his dreams, so I asked him if he needed them to find his way to heaven and he said yes. I placed his glasses on him and in a few minutes he fell back to sleep. All and All he was up about an hour or so.

His breathing is more shallow now and he has long periods of apnea. Maybe that is the last conversation I will have with him. He has not been editing these emails for the last two weeks. I still read the responses to him but many times he is asleep.
