Sue, Thank you for your note. I found joy todya in getting a haircut and shopping at WalMart!!

Our hospice doesn't have a residence facility, only for respite care. She would have to be in a group home of some sort, with hospice still managing her care. The other option would be somehow getting her back to Minnesota to the residence hospice there. In the meantime, we're hanging in there. She told me once if I put her in a care center that would be the last time I saw her. That really hurt, but I think when it came down to it, she would change her mind.... She doesn't remember a lot of things she has said! Sometimes that's good and sometimes not!

Hi @deek15redpeppers Scott here with a question for you. In Indiana we had the option of either hospice care in a facility or home hospice care. Once we got the Rx for hospice, we were able to choose which one. My wife opted for home hospice. I totally understand home hospice might not be workable, but is it an option where you are?

Strength, Courage, & Peace
