Hospice


I am now in home hospice care listening to my dog bark...protecting me of all the other dogs moving down the sidewalk.  I am laying in a hospital bed they brought over. Out of necessity.,. No.  Comfort yes.  And heck it was free.

I was able to talk with my sister the other day.  That was nice. She should be someone to look up to with anyone with cancer.  She and I both are missing something on our DNA which is a cancer syndrome.  I am sure if I knew the number of chemo cycles she has had it would make my jaw drop.  Hers began pre 2003?

Deanna's taking a vacation right after valentines day.  I am very happy for her, she needs a break.  We both need to take a deep breath.

To describe hospice its all about pain management and comfort.  To that end FedEx came yesterday to deliver a package.  Cookies?  Cake?  Nope some wickid meds they call a comfort pack.  A doc has to approve the opening upon a nurse request.  Now its in the fridge by some veggies.

My mind is good.  Happy Saturday.

  1. A little something to keep the hummus company in the fridge? Here's a little something to make you chuckle. I'm in Xsite training with Jason Suritz & Laura Goodrich. We are all having a great time (in sarcastic font)! Thinking good thoughts.
