My wife Alice, known on Legion World as Pagan Lass is currently in the final phase of her five year battle with C.O.P.D..

Just before Thanksgiving last year she was hospitalized for two weeks when she developed severe infections in both feet as a side effect of a medication that she was on. After having both feet operated on, she made it home for my birthday and Christmas.

In January she appeared to be regaining her strength, but in Febuary she developed a second infection, this time in her urinary tract. the infection was cleared up, but left her bedridden.

She's been losing ground ever since.

Within the last two weeks her situation has gravely worsened. She no longer has the strength to even sit up or speak above a faint whisper. She cannot take medicine in pill form and is on morphine for her constant pain.

Our Granddaughter Brittany is due to graduate from High School in June. A few weeks ago our goal was to get Alice strong enough to attend the ceremony.

Now I'm just praying she makes it to mother's day.

Alice decided long ago thet she didn't want to spend her final days in the hospital or a nursing home. She's at home receiving hospice care, surrounded by her loving and adoring family, resting as comfortably as possible.

She wants me to convey her thanks to all of the wonderful people here on Legion World for their frindship and kindness to both her and overgrown child she has been married to for the last thirty five years.

Although she never posted much, the adventures of Pagan Lass, Abin Quank, and the Quank Clan on Legion World delighted and amused her.

She knows her time is short but she smiles and says she's had a good life and she wouldn't change a thing.

I'll keep you guys posted.

At 5:05 today May 5 2010 Alice Tabor, AKA Pagan Lass, Passed Away peacefully in her sleep from complications due to C.O.P.D.

She leaves behind A greaving husband, 5 sons, and 8 grandchildren.

She was 56 years old.

Abin, I'm sorry to hear this. But I'm glad she's comfortable and with the people she cares about.

I don't know either of you as well as most of the regulars here do, but I'll be thinking of you both anyway.

Take care.

Chuck, I'm so sorry to hear this. After all these years knowing you and Alice on LW and all our meetings in person, I'm teary eyed even reading this. frown

You're both in my thoughts and prayers. I hope she isn't in pain and I hope you take care of yourself--please let us know if there is any way to help.

hug and much love.

That's sad to hear AQ.

My grandfather passed away a couple years back from complications due to COPD. In the end it came to a scene much like you're describing.

Whatever happens, find comfort in that you'll face it together. Hope your family is doing well.

Chuck, I'm so sorry to hear that Alice's health is failing. I had a feeling your recent absences may have had serious reasons behind them. I wish I was wrong.

All I can offer is my sympathy and my friendship. And I know Legion World will offer whatever support we can for you.


Still "Lardy" to my friends!

The only thing I can understand to say that's not cliched is that, at least she's coherent and is around her loved ones.

My grandma had Alzheimer's, and while she was around some of her loved ones, I doubt she even knew who they were up to the... sorry.
