Hospice hospitality

Shannon has made it to a hospice facility. It's something between a hospital and a hotel in feel. 

I was worried Shannon would be lingering for a long time, but today she got a bit worse. She can still speak, eat, and move her left arm and leg, but she's having shortness of breath at times. She's miserable right now, I can only hope she feels a bit more comfortable as she settles a bit. 

The staff is not as highly trained, but they're also not nurses, just caretakers. 

The new medication makes Shannon groggy, which doesn't help her communicate at all. Hopefully it will help her sleep better.
