I surely missed a few folks in the email I sent to friends, family, & neighbors a while ago. After discussing RH’s survival & treatment outlook with medical staff, I decided to bring him home for hospice, which I know is his preference in this situation.

My mom came home from the hospital today for Hospice comfort care. She gets oral morphine every two hours.
The crazy part is that the entire country is running out of morphine. Doctors & nurses here in Ohio are panicking along with me.

My Mom came home yesterday for Hospice comfort care. She’s on oral morphine every hour.
I’m am scared & furious because I am almost out of morphine & her Doc & nurses are busy looking for more. Not one pharmacy in my town has any right now & they don’t know when they will be getting more in.

The DEA’s 2025 quotas for opioids will leave seriously ill patients in pain
Palliative care physician Rebecca Rodin writes that DEA opioid medication production limits — which are set to be even lower in 2025 — don’t address the opioid crisis. They just leave her patients in ...

Sadly, it is true. I work primarily with older adults, used work in skilled nursing facilities but now in home care and hospice. *most* people want to do the right thing, but understaffing, caregiver burn out, lack of support, etc all feed into this. A whole separate topic to get into!

Call a Hospice…ask the Nursing Home which Hospices they allow to see their patients…they will know how to manage her pain….they can even put her inpatient hospital if needed. The Hospice has a Social Worker and a Chaplain to assist in her and the family’s needs.

Running shoes live a fast life on the road like a rock star right out of the box, then live a life in retirement as at home shoes, and eventually make it into the hospice known as lawn care shoes.

like hospice, but for flowers…
helped friend close down her garden for winter, brought home “dead” zinnias and dahlias m.
she is not wrong.
especially the ones in the pint glass, already wilting.
but they’re so pretty, and i just can’t resist giving them a gentle and loving place to fade away

I've been through the Hospice at home thing. Took care of a friend with throat cancer for 10 months.
FYI, there is a liquid Vicodin that's very effective for breakthrough pain. I've seen it work wonders, especially when combined with 72 hr. fentanyl patches.

With support from Lib Dem colleagues, I've urged the Health Secretary to urgently address the hospice care crisis.
We can't accept a diminishing service where care is rationed and fundraising lags.
Thousands need relief, and we must do better.

Leaving Memphis for LGA. My mother passed peacefully the day before her birthday, her kids beside her, just hours after we brought her home for hospice. It was a privilege to be there. Going home a few days, to return to organize the estate with my sisters. What a year.

Speaking of my nonna, she got out of the rehabilitation center yesterday. She's moving to Omaha to live with my aunt and will have in-home hospice care. Doesn't mean its the end, just means it won't improve you know? But this should be good for her.

your hospice provider may well have some contacts. Also it helps to start early sourcing some in-home help (continuity is a very good thing

She's having home hospice due to heart trouble and COPD. He has agent orange recurrent cancers. We have health aides and nurses visit, but what else can we do? They're in Utah, we're in Vermont.

This happened with my nan last year and the hospice workers say it's very common. They say goodnight to everyone then ten minutes after you arrive home you get the call. OP shouldn't be so hard on themselves.

So it's midnight and the drugged up Felon who lied his way to the top is sundowning and expresses his delirium to the world. He should be either in a hospice or dementia ward in a nursing home.
DJT called out for rage response from MAGA over false allegation against Dems+Biden.
Does he expect MAGA violence in retaliation for Biden's fictional FBI?
Remember how DJT family watched, celebrated+danced as J6 unfolded, excited for coup to stop Biden's Presidency.

(2/3) This resource is parallel to but distinct from, Go Wish cards (which I'll also post about this month.) Shiva's approach is more maximalist, in the "assume you'll get everything you ask for if you ask for it early enough" way, while Go Wish is more "choose just five things from this deck."

Update from Miss Major's partner: "Miss Major is at home on hospice. She is comfortable and surrounded by love."
Donations and good wishes still needed. Anything above and beyond the needs of her care will go to continuing Miss Major's legacy through Oasis, the retreat for trans people she built.

My brother in-law is dying. They will be sending him home under hospice care.
My sister called the Veterans Affairs to see if they could help her with bills. Her husband James is a Vietnam veteran, having served with the US Marines.

Hospice is not 'giving up,' it is a different kind of medical care suited to a change in your medical needs. You can get it at home, in a standalone facility, or in a hospital. It can come with the degree of intervention you want. Hospice cares for your loved ones too.
