In praise of technology

Yesterday, along with my mother in law, sister in law and her partner, I sat by my husband’s uncle’s hospital bed as he was dying. It’s winter here, and frail 93yo Uncle had caught a chest infection he was not to recover from.

Due to his lung congestion, Uncle struggled for each breath. Mother in law wondered if some music might help settle him, but we had none.

I pulled out my iPhone, went to YouTube and found one of Uncle’s favourites, the slow movement from Dvorak’s “New World” symphony. We played it on a loop. It did seem to relax Uncle a bit, and it helped us as well.

Some days I’m very glad for technology.
