We’re here! The 2 year anniversary of Methuselah being on hospice was yesterday. No one knows why she is still alive, including the hospice medical director. Her pacemaker battery was supposed to give out last December. She weighs 80lbs, 5lbs of it is fluid in her legs. Her blood pressure averages 85/64. She has cellulitis in her leg right now. The infection appears to have made her stronger, her brain more clear. This is not a medical miracle to be celebrated. She is the definition of too mean to die. I would theorize she is solar powered, but she lives in the shadows. She has now outlived one of her daughters. She may outlive me. She will be 91 next month. I have violent thoughts towards people that tell me what a blessing it is to still have her. Nope, it’s a curse. I guess I’ll be back next year with an update.
