055409 -
055410 - Madeline advised, in our discussion this afternoon, that Bob was
055411 - coherent and fully cognizant. This reflects improvement from the
055412 - report on 991102, ref SDS 16 2528, as a result of treatment at the
055413 - hospital since yesterday. Madeline noted that Bob decided a general
055414 - power of attorney is not necessary, because he and Kathleen signed a
055415 - document transferring the family retirement account into a joint
055416 - account so that Kathleen can manage family finances during Bob's
055417 - recovery, and assume control in the event he does not recover.
055418 -
055419 - As a result, a power of attorney was not prepared.

055473 -
0555 -
0556 -
0557 - 1532 called Kathleen
0558 -
055801 - Talked to Patty.
055802 -
055803 - Patty said surgery has been delayed again. They say it will be at
055804 - 1900 now. Bob is anxious, because he was emotionally set for 1400,
055805 - then 1500. Kathleen is upset too. Patty said the surgeon told them
055806 - the delay is caused by scheduling and availability of surgery rooms.
055807 -
055808 - Patty said Madeline was very professional. Patty felt good about the
055809 - way Madeline handled a difficult situation.
055810 -
055811 - Patty asked my opinion about Madeline's expertise.
055812 -
055813 - I advised that she was recommended another lawyer, but I have no basis
055814 - to form an opinion because I do not know the other lawyer and there is
055815 - no work history with Madeline. Her willingness to take the initiative
055816 - today is helpful. Patty's report on Madeline's work is a good sign.
055817 -
055818 - Patty related that at the hospital today, Bob said that if anything
055819 - should happen to Kathleen, he wants Patty to be responsible for
055820 - managing the remaining estate between Patty and Bob's natural
055821 - daughter, Collette.
055822 -
055823 - This will be addressed tomorrow when Kathleen and Patty meet with

0563 -
0564 -
0565 - 2109 received letter from Rita
0566 -
056601 - Rita sent another letter on a second visit this evening after surgery
056602 - was delayed again. She left the hospital at about 1900, with
056603 - understanding surgery is set for 2100. ref DRT 2 0001
056604 -
056605 - She says Bob was his usual self -- uncomfortable and impatient with
056606 - waiting. Wanted "his family with him" and evidently suggested that
056607 - Rita leave. ref DRT 2 0001

056611 -
0567 -
0568 -
0569 - 2115 called Kathleen
0570 -
057001 - She was crying, and said the surgery was delayed again. Now it is
057002 - supposed to happen at 2130. The doctors told Patty and her to go home
057003 - because the surgery will take several hours. They will call this
057004 - evening to report results. Bob will be in recovery for several hours,
057005 - so the best thing is to visit him tomorrow.
057006 - ..
057007 - They had a message on the answering machine this evening from
057008 - Madeline setting the meeting at 0900 tomorrow. This reflects planning
057009 - with Madeline above. ref SDS 0 3528
057010 -
057011 - Kathleen is worried about how she can attend the meeting and also
057012 - visit Bob. She feels they need to be there when he wakes up in the
057013 - morning. She considered having Patty visit Bob while she goes to the
057014 - meeting with Madeline.
057015 -
057016 - There was discussion, that Bob may not be ready to receive visitors by
057017 - 0900. They can call the hospital at 0800 and see how he is doing, and
057018 - then decide on scheduling.
057019 -
057020 - If possible Patty should attend the meeting with Madeline and
057021 - Kathleen. If Bob is up at 0800, they can visit on the phone and say
057022 - they will visit him after 1000, ask if he wants anything, etc.
057023 -
057024 - The meeting with Madeline will likely take at least an hour, so they
057025 - can get to the hospital perhaps by 1030 or 1100.

0574 -
057401 - We have bad news from the surgery. Patty was very upset. Surgery
057402 - confirmed pancreatic cancer that is much worse than they expected. It
057403 - has progressed throughout his abdomen, which is why bodily functions
057404 - have ceased the past few weeks, reported on 991025. ref SDS 12 0001
057405 - The surgeon plans to meet with Bob in the morning and explain that
057406 - they estimate he has about 2 months. They do not feel further
057407 - treatment can help.
057408 -
057409 - The surgeon advised that it is best if she meet with Bob alone
057410 - tomorrow, rather than have family present so Bob can discuss things
057411 - with the doctor privately for awhile and adjust to a difficult
057412 - circumstance.

057421 -

057426 - Will this be done at home. Can Kathleen get help?
057427 -
057428 - There may be a counselor who helps families make arrangements.
057429 -
057430 - [On 991105 shortly after midnight, Patty was called to the hospital
