There was none of the "dignity in dying" crap, and he wasn't very comfortable. He just died, slowly, painfully, and unable to move or communicate. It was pretty horrible.
The hospice nurses were pretty, so I suppose that part was good.
I don't have any short-term plans. I'll stick around here for a bit to help my mom adjust, for sure. Shortly before my brother's Final Descent a former colleague had contacted me about a job that paid really well, the first of its kind for me. I had to turn it down. Given how difficult things had been for me for a time, that was pretty hard to do.
I'm thinking Dallas in the near-future. That doesn't thrill me. It kind of revulses me. Baby steps . . .

If it helps, I think Hank has an opening for someone to carry his bags when he's in East Texas on his big deal patent litigation, and he pays a boatload! I know it's not much fun, and the boss is a prick, but I don't think Les is hiring and even if he were, I don't think it would pay much.
I am very sorry about your brother, and know you've got some good memories of him to cherish. I've never understood the dignity in dying crap myself.
