Hospice

I don't know a whole lot about Hospice, but Mom's kidney Dr. thinks it's time. For the last two days, Mom's blood pressure has not been good. Most of the time it reads at 70 or 80 something over 40 or 50 something. She sleeps or naps alot.

Her ankles are swollen very bad and the dialysis isn't getting much fluid off. The Dr. told her she wasn't going to get better and even though most of the time she's in denial, she did say to me "I guess I'm going to die". I told her "not today".

A person from Hospice called and will be here on Tuesday morning to give us whatever information we'll need. Not real sure what to expect, but I'll know soon enough I guess.

I've been feeling sick to my stomach ever since leaving the Dr's office.
