We wrapped up Day 27 around noon today and began Day 1 shortly thereafter.
The hospital had him all ready to roll when the ambulance got there to move him to the Hospice Home. (HH) He was nervous of the ride but it went well and no pain flare ups. Our favorite nurses were sad to see us go. We'll miss them - but we are ready to move on.
The HH is very nice. It will give you a comfortable feeling when you enter. It's decorated like a home. A huge sunroom, alot of wood trim, wood floors, big rooms all done tastefully. It has a huge kitchen that I can cook whatever, whenever and a nice dining area, big living area, computer area, tv room. It's got it all.
He took a walk tonight and got the tour. The staff is awesome and caring.
He was feeling pretty decent again today. The epi cath is working very well......we have the medicine dialed in just right at this time. If he continues to feel like he has - we will probably be able to bring him home and then the Visiting Nurses will come to us. I'd really like him to be able to set in a chair before we attempt that. Not sure on a time frame for that - we are playing it by ear. Pray for that to be part of the plan.
Pray for a decent night tonight for him in his new digs. I'm sure it will be very quiet compared to what he's used to for the last month. Pray for the good days to outnumber the bad days. Good night all...
Hospice... I'd wondered, when you talked about waiting for biopsy results and then never mentioned what those results were. Are you able to have visitors there? I'd like to come up soon.
