The 2013 Trivial, Boring Drivel Thread....

I'm not sure how it works in every state, but my mom is getting hospice even though she's continuing chemo treatments and the doctor has not told her there is nothing left to do. She's going to stay with her sister for a month and they've arranged for a hospital bed, adjustable recliner, in home nurses and a doctor, weekly personal care and things like Ensure drinks.

Have you looked into that, Ramsey? Hospice isn't always an immediate death sentence, it's also to improve the quality of life for the patient getting treatment and help out the caregiver.

Mike doesn't need or qualify for hospice. He could live 5 more years the way he is. When the time comes, I will look into hospice care at home.
