Hi BF, I called about 10:50PM and thought if you were awake you would hear the phone. I have a family reunion tomorrow out of town leaving early and will not be back until about 10:00 pm or so.
Ring twice hang up and I will call you back.if you are up to it tomorrow night.

It is my mom;s family the 10 Aunts and uncles cousins, will be a difficult De without De this year and their questions or conversations.......Many of them are only a few years older then me. Like siblings.

Hospice services are ordered by the doctor and the patient.
There are different levels of hospice care.
It is for terminally ill patients and they offer holistic care, spirtual, and palliative care, comfort measures only, end of life care and I have know people who have recieved hospice care for years, every 6 months they get re-evaluated.
They are the pain experts.
It is supposed to be about maintaining dignity and a quality of life....
They have social workers to help with family dynamics as well.
Hospice can truly be a comfort for patients and their families.
