   Last night was one that seemed like a final curtain call for Mom, but must've   
   been simply one out of a series.  Apparently she took an antibiotic every 12   
   hours for the prior 36, which left her suddenly a-shiver, and she went to the   
   Jacuzzi-jet tub (with    
   built-in heater/timer) to take a bath.  She doesn't do this often, as the tub   
   is too difficult at her age and condition to get in and out, as she found out   
   last night.  The heat always leaves her limp / drained, and last night was   
   even worse, but I    
   learned how to fish an old lady out of a tub with my eyes closed.  Around 3 AM   
   the dog got me up for her usual early morning patrol, but when I returned to   
   the hallway, I discovered Mom had gone into the tiny, master half-bathroom and   
   couldn't get out.     
   We had another assisted-living-type episode, but I got her back to her bed,   
   and apparently she's much better this morning.  I can only imagine that when   
   you're her age (90+) that taking antibiotics needs to be cut into half-doses,   
   at least!   
      
   At any rate, I'd normally not share such personal details, but it did make   
   getting back to sleep a bit worrisome:  I was mentally going over a checklist   
   for EOL procedures.  I finally must've ("must HAVE") drifted to sleep, because   
   of the dream I had    
   before waking, which involved something about opening a window to help with   
   the air current / breeze / temperature, and was set in something akin to a   
   police station, possibly a hospital, where there was at least one security /   
   law enforcement type guy (   
   likely the dreamer) and some other guy passing by out in the hallway, having a   
   discussion regarding the spread of symptoms to [this area/level] with the   
   passing guy saying about the basement / holding area / overflow being   
   super-saturated (with    
   contamination, a "hot zone.")  The dreamer heard the conversation distinctly,   
   however, recall is horrendously vague (nearly evaporated) so I can only post   
   what the conversation was *like*, rather than verbatim.
