My Wife Is Going To Have To Start Hospice Care Soon

[mudwhistle]

My wife was spitting up blood yesterday morning and I called an ambulance. They worked on her last night and she has several problems:

• They say she has COVID but it's not COVID19
• The doctor told me she has a mass in her brain and a mass in her lung
• Because of her age I really don't have any options other to start her on hospice care here at home

So if anyone is wondering why my Christmas spirit is in the crapper.....this is what I've been dealing with.
Hopefully she can come home next week and she can pass in peace here in our home.

Oh man! I'm sorry!

That bring back memories of my mom's last weeks. Are you going to have a hospice nurse come in?

Enjoy this time with her. Make it the best time you've both ever had! (I know that sounds dumb...but you can of you try).

A drive to the dog park to sit in the car & have a picnic & watch the dogs play can be fun!

Sorry to hear that. At least it's gonna be you who's going to take care of her, not some stranger.

 

[Thunk]

It's too cold for that.

Yeah...I was hoping if you stayed in the car it might be OK...but yeah.

Just trying to think of some of the things I did with my mom to make her last weeks more enjoyable.

Keep eating healthy foods...this is gonna take a toll on you!

 

[okfine]

Keep her close and comfortable

I hope that you both have had a long and happy lives.

Hospice can be very helpful in dealing with your wife’s struggles

 

[Yarddog]

Very sorry to hear that Mud. I hope you can still have some valuable time together.

I think they just dope people up at a hospice. Dying at home sounds better.
