Re: Hospice / end of life visit

All they have is a yeast infection that's being treated. Kids all flew in (when you hear your 99 y.o. parent fell and is in a hospital on morphine (we figure that's why there's no recollection of having fallen), you find a way to get to where they are.

Re: Hospice / end of life visit

This is where it gets wild... They fell, right, but in the hospital no one could find any damage outside of some bruises. A "little pulmonary hypertension developing" but they're 99, the expectation is that they'd have SOMEthing age-related. Left the hospital unable to swallow. Well, day ...
