in qe, asked if I want to go home or into hospis.

[Richard]

:( Can you access internet in hospice?

[Andy Burns]

Sorry to hear that Dennis, what did you decide?

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

SHIT! I'm so sorry. My wife died in the hospice. She got better care than I could give her.

Very sorry to read that Dennis.

My mother had terminal cancer. Towards the end, she came to stay with us. After a private discussion, her doctor arranged a Macmillan nurse to do the overnight bit.

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

My wife was offered this, but was too far gone. I will spare you the details. She welcomed the Hospice. The doctors etc were magnificent.

[dennis]

wife wants me home and I want to be home thet getting a bed, etc. in asap.

[Tim Streater]

All the best to you, Dennis.

Sh1t. ;-(

Stepdaughter (39) started off in her own home with a supplied air-mattress bed and us getting her an electric reclining chair etc but after a few days asked if she could go to the hospice.

We were lucky to be able to get her into the Isabel Hospice at WGC and we couldn't have asked more of it (the facilities) and them (the staff).

Our daughter and stepdaughters daughter were able to stay with her

24/7 for the final couple of weeks and that helped tremendously. [1]

All the best mate ...

[1] The flip side to that was they were able to stay (in the same room) because they didn't have sufficient medical staff to 'man' all the beds. I believe they also had a couple of family accommodation rooms though.

Bugger.

[Fredxx]

I am so sorry to hear that.

[newshound]

So sorry to hear that Dennis.

For what it is worth, I have never heard a bad word about a Hospice. They did a great job for my brother's wife, and more recently for a young cousin of mine.

Sorry to hear it Dennis. Thanks for letting us know.

So very sorry, Dennis.

I am so sorry to hear that, Dennis. You will be sadly missed. I wish you a peaceful passing away.

[John Rumm]

Sorry to hear that, not a good choice to have to make... What do you think you are going to do?

[The Natural Philosopher]

Not poutting too fine a point on it, having been nearly there myself, I would say Dennis is going to die.

I hope he finds peace before he does

[Ray]

Everyone is going to die.

[The Natural Philosopher]

But mostly not just yet

[Mr Pounder Esquire]

For what it may be worth. My dad went into a hospice and came out like a new man. It is NOT always a one way street. Best wishes to Dennis.
