I know that it is not about ME..we have already discussed hospice. How much time the caretaker will be here and how often. Avenues of being ABLE or QUALIFIED for hospice. Will have to make phone calls on it. He is not bed ridden yet! He already has a living will and I have medical power of attourney. Planning to do the gruesome but necessary task of pre-paying for his cremation and burial so he does not burden the family with the cost. He is requesting all of this.
He is the one that wanted to have constant care for when he is bedridden so I would not have to deal with it. His late wife told him(just when his illnesses emphazema developed--about 10 years ago)it was not in the marriage contract to care for him when he was bedridden and she will not do it. He thought I would think the same until I told him I CHOSE to be here with him. I left everything in VA FOR him! "You did, you did", he said. End of conversation.
His appetite has gotten better. Daughter in laws aunt use to work in onocology for 6 years and now works private. She suggested he take Centrum Silver and Vitman C (generics work just as well) at NIGHT instead of day time. It will increase his appetite. And it has. And keeping it down.
He got some new shoes last week and had them on. He tripped with them on and caught himself but messed his back up so he is back in major pain again.
I have been getting migranes, body going out of whack, because I forget to eat, or too tired to eat. I stay up until 3 am to make sure he gets his meds..get back up around 9 to do the same thing again--all day.
