This is excellent advice if her situation is becoming "terminal". Hospice
is a boon to the whole family as well as the patient, and Medicare covers
most costs. Thanks for the suggestion, Walrter.
Another thought--when I read what the visiting nurse said, I wondered how
many advanced PWPS she had seen? Did she really have a good basis for
comparison? Just a thought----
