Bill is now on hospice. Has been suffering from extreme diarrhea (before he gets to the bathroom). Yesterday when he was answering questions for the nurse we seemed to obtain and extra child lol. He is showing more confusion. Hospice doesn't think he has long.
He keeps asking me if our money is still in the bank and if he still has access to it. I keep reassuring him. At this point I don't have to worry about the scam deals he was falling for as he no longer can work the computer or the phone - or go to the front door if the bell rings.
I'm up at 4am as he needed his dose of Imodium and med for pain.
Thank you for your support. Wishing you the best with all the 'safety' checks.

Good morning, @billchitwood I hope hospice is as helpful to you and Bill as it was to my wife and me.

My wife's medicine regimen, when all her meds had to be in liquid form, was every two hours for several months so I can sympathize with your 4:00 AM "call".

Again, I hope you find hospice a solid support!

Strength, Courage, & Peace

Hi Julie,
Just want you to know I, and I’m sure many others, are thinking of you and Bill and embracing you both with our love and support during these days. My mother and dad went peacefully in their sleep and I hope that for Bill also. Best wishes always, Sue
