Thank you LittleCat. I'm doing much better this morning. Being an only child with a parent whose health has failed very seriously must be lonely. I had sisters who took more responsibility than I did with both of our parents. I hope the radiotherapy has a palliative effect for your mom. She's lucky to have you.

Last night I trimmed bushes in prep for a patio inspection that will take place soon at the complex where my bf lives. The physical work did me good. Today I take him to the nursing home. I feel better and think it will all work out.

What keeps me going is telling myself to just get through one day at a time. I'm much less depressed today.
