The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Beef

Okay, so in the summer of 2010, my husband Kevin was in the hospital dying of cancer, a stage four diagnosis. He had tumors that were in his lungs and in his spine, and the ones in his lungs we had treated successfully, but the ones in his spine didn't respond to treatment, and so he'd had surgery. And the first surgery went pretty well, but the second surgery did not.

And it rendered him a quadriplegic. So he was in the hospital for about 50 days. And during that time, we also had two kids. Our daughter was in middle school and our son had just graduated from high school and was getting ready to leave for college. I was still working and we had a house and all of this other stuff, life that was going on.

So my day would consist of getting up around 9 or 10 in the morning and getting the kids ready and figuring out who was going to care for them and who was going to feed them and how they were going to make it through the day. Then I would go off to the hospital and I would stay with him until about 9.30 at night.

So this is August, he's been in the hospital for about 35 days, and I'm getting ready in the morning to go see him, and the phone rang, and it was our landline, and there was a name on the caller ID that I didn't recognize, Diane someone, and I thought, well, I don't know her, but maybe it's somebody who's delivering dinner for us tonight, and so I'd better answer it.

You're not going to get away with this. And I said, excuse me? Who are you calling for? I'm not sure who you're calling for, but I think you have the wrong number. She said, don't tell me I have the wrong number.

I really have to go.
