the yo continues to yo.
the nursing home is now talking about hospice.  i don't even know how to begin processing this.  he isn't eating much, mom says he's gotten quite thin, he's talking about wanting to go home (and i'm inclined to think this is more a metaphorical thing)
...and lots of other stuff i'm too drained to write about, but at least no one is yelling right now.  that's a good thing.
