If it were just me that is EXACTLY the way I would be doing it.

Unfortunately it may be just me in the not to far future. Hubby isn't doing to well again. It took him from 10:30 until 3:30 just to eat a bowl of Oatmeal. Doctor keeps wanting me to get Hospice in which means they won't do anything medically only keep him comfortable. I am not ready for that yet and neither is my hubby.

God bless you, both, dear Spunky.

I wish the doc would write an order for home health care, rather than suggest hospice.

He may already have...I just wish you could get some daily help.

Oh Spunky.....how sorry I am to hear this. You poor dear - that has to be tough to face. At times I really wish I lived closer to some wonderful FReepers. God be with you both, Spunky.

Very sorry to hear that.

To be honest, it takes me about that long to eat a bowl of oatmeal too, unless it is laced with bacon.

You poor dear. I can only imagine how hard this is for you and hubby. My friend, a registered nurse and wound specialist, had to finally put her MIL in a home. She told me hospice will come in And just make sure she is bathed and otherwise taken care of. She explained to her hubby and his brothers that it’s not that someone doesn’t have long that is the criteria, but that they are not expected to get better to take care of themselves.
