One Night Closer

Last night was a long one with interruptions beyond the normal 4 hour pills that Heather keeps track of.  I sleep on the sofa, near her chair,  available in case mom calls or am needed for lifting her to change.  She was visibly uncomfortable and in increasing pain.  Ray had picked up her 50 mmg patch in the afternoon so at 5 am Heather installed it, putting her on the same regimen that seemed to keep her comfortable most of the week.  She seems to be getting a little more comfortable.  The pill that we think she needs that she is refusing to take is the water pill.
