I've got a few prayers to spare, man. I'll add both your mother and you to my list.

I'm very sorry to hear this, HS. I am glad the two of you were able to patch things up a bit first.

She's hanging in there for now, but they moved her to a private room. There's only one reason they do that.
I keep thinking I should go see her more often, but she doesn't have a clue I'm there. She used to have moments of being lucid when she was in the rehab place but they were few and far between. Now she doesn't have any of that.

It's weird how she went from being a cross between R Lee Ermey and Margaret Thatcher to basically becoming a vegetable

If I ever get in that state I want to be let go to wherever people like me end up.

Dude, I'm sorry to hear about your mum. We'll send some prayers her way, and your's too (you don't have to let us know if you get them). We hope your mum's passing is a peaceful one (unlike mine, so I'm told, who was kicking and fighting to stay in this world, and left not more than a couple minutes before I got there - my brothers tell me it was better that I was not there to witness it). We'll pray for a calm and peaceful passing. And we'll pray for you too, since it's your mum. Take care and good riding!
