Jerry appeared in my dreams for the first time last night since he died. I don't remember much: just that he was home and someone wanted to put a Foley catheter back in, and I was upset because I thought it would hurt him, but then it had been done and hadn't caused him more pain. That's it.
The death certificate lists three causes of death: metastatic colon cancer, acute renal failure, and pleural effusion. Short, clinical words to stand in for so much suffering.
