Hmmm, that is one option, Rap. But I think I'd get there faster if I could feckin' flap.

On another note: I did make it home in time for Tom to catch Granny in one of her last lucid moments. Hospice has now been in, and they set up a hospital bed as well as arranged for some morphine. Those two things alone have helped immensely. I made dinner for everyone tonight (except for Granny, she's stopped eating), and they ate in shifts. All in all, it is a solemn but not miserable time. It would be so much sadder and more poignant if she weren't 87 and very anxious to go.
