The oncologist came to the hospital after the nurse called. The biggest concern seemed to be the the heart rate. At least that's the number that continued to drop and drop. It started in the seventies, then went to the sixties, fifties, and thirties. The blood pressure continued to drop as well. Then the oxygen became a problem. One by one the alarms went off and the doctor and nurse went to work, trying to get the levels up, or at least stable.
The day started with liquid on the pillow and got worse from there. Some time between 1:00am and 2:00 am the doctor approached me to have THE conversation.
