Default how to communicate

my stepmom has lost most of her hearing to the cancer. she was too sick to keep the appointments that might have helped her and now she can't leave the bed.

she has gotten some e-mails i enlarged to 24 font. she could see them yesterday but not today. she can't operate the arrow keys to read the message. she says when she turns her head the left eye gets blurry. she hoped that meant the end was near but the nurse said no. he thot he was cheering her up but she was depressed - not the answer she wants.

she is not able to write. she can talk and we can understand some of it. she is afraid and we can't be sure how much she understands. she tells us she wants it (life) to be over. she asks for candles to be burned.

kitchen drain hopelessly clogged we are now the bucket brigade.
