Mom hasn't eaten or drank anything in two days. From what I've (quickly) read, death usually occurs 3-5 days after the last intake of liquid.

I'm told she is not suffering, that she is sleeping comfortably. She's been prescribed a morphine patch, so I'm sure that is helping.

I've been getting irritable, especially at work, where only my boss knows what's going on (I work with a group of chatty Cathy drama queens, and that's being nice.) I'm trying not to be irritable, but I feel like I'm at a breaking point. I'm so tense just waiting for that final phone call to come.

I haven't discussed the situation on FaceBook, or any where else, really. Besides a few close friends, this is the only place I've opened up so far. I'm just not ready to be overwhelmed with sympathies and well-wishes.

But the support I've gotten from friends here on LiveJournal has been invaluable and appreciated more than I can express.
