Want to say one more thing about Hospice.............................

[Guest guest]

Of course, I am very new to this Hospice care, starting day before

yesterday, but they move faster to take things in hand that you need

than anything I have ever seen before.

They are a very caring business and want you to have everything you

need to make you the most comfortable you could ever be. That is

their priority.

slept on the couch next to my hospice bed which is very

comfortable. It has controls on it like a hospital bed. But doesn't

actually take up so much room. The sides pull up if you like and it

has a control " remote " type thing too. We all had a very restful

night and feel good today. I am about to take my bath now, is

going to help me which will feel comforting.

Gave a large natural hide chew bone so she will be totally

happy for the whole day and then some. ha

Thank you ALL for your emails and notes from the board. It means so

much as i know you are all struggling too.

Just want to say don't ever be afraid to call the Hospice in your

area for help. It is wonderful to know that when i got up this

morning that I did not have any dr.s appt to get ready for, no tanks

to fill, Earl off to work on time, being with MY GINA all day again

today, going to watch OLD movies.

PLEASE DO yourselves a big favor by remembering what I said about

Hospice. I asked Dr. Haddad, pulmo, last night when he was here if

he thought I did the right thing and he said, " Oh, yes " . I feel so

relaxed today knowing I don't have to go anywhere. I feel so

enlighhtened by your support, love and prayers, and I will ponder

them all in my heart, always. The relief I feel inside is

unexplainable knowing Hospice is here for me.

Tomorrow the nurse who will be assisting me through this is coming

and we will get acquainted and get to know each other. The Hospice

Social Worker told me yesterday she is fantastic.

So off to the shower now. Hope you all have a great day.

Love, Lou
