November 26 -- better

Last night was horrific. Belligerent, abusive, bordering on hostile. Signs of dementia and hallucinations. Incapable of transferring from wheelchair to toilet.

This morning....clearly the pain has subsided enough for her to think straight. She actually went to the bathroom all by herself. I fell asleep on the couch in her room near the bathroom and the flushing of the toilet woke me. Then she did all her morning bathing and dressing with only a little assistance. Now she is exhausted--but I'll take that.

I believe I saw what lies ahead in the events of last night. If she continues to improve with regard to strength and will, perhaps her quality of life will be ok for a while. But I suspect the next time she "takes a turn" it will for the worse as they say.
