In the last year of her life, she became confused at times. She once called me to her house because her kitchen table was covered in ants. When I got there, not a one was to be found. I was very concerned about her living alone, as she was cold even in hot New Orleans summers, and would light gas space heater at night.
She became physically ill (internal bleeding), but various tests were not conclusive. She was hospitalized in Touro. She did not want any operations, but the surgeon treating her said she may have a simple blockage. I convinced her to undergo exploratory surgery. She was found to have cancer, which was removed. She stayed in the hospital for several weeks, until she was told her level of care no longer justified it. We tried her living at home with sitters, but eventually put her in skilled-care nursing at Jo Ellen Smith nursing home. I visited her daily, but she was almost deaf , vision very poor, mind unfocused, and could barely talk at all. After a few weeks her condition worsened, and she was moved next door to Jo Ellen Smith Hospital, where she died a few days later.
