• Hospice

  I had heard of hospice before but never palliative care. We had been informed by the doctor that the hospital staff in charge of outpatient care would be here soon to explain the differences and what our options were. My mom had spent the last week in the hospital and she had improved enough to…

• Time to catch up

  

  YouTube is currently my primary means of activity. Watching woodworking, either new or restoration can burn up a lot of time, and art conservation by Baumgartner is slow and absolutely fascinating, but Jason Cammisa is a god’s send.
