I signed up with hospice care officially yesterday. They are wonderful!! They provide everything I need for comfort. They will send someone to visit me once a week, more when it’s needed. The nurse will check my vital signs and medication, adjust everything. There are also aides to come out to my house if/when needed. They will give a report to my oncologist every week and if anything needs to be change, they will do so. Everything is covered under insurance including all the medical equipments. Hours after I signed the paperwork, lots of helpful new toys showed up to make my life easier including a wheel chair, a walker, a shower bench, and a portable oxygen tank that gives me about 5 hours of oxygen. I am no longer imprisoned in my own house due to oxygen needs. Someone could take me out for a walk! Any volunteers?? 😉 😊
I am so happy and impressed with their service so far. My nurse came for a visit this morning. Guess what, her name is Diana. That’s my sister’s name. What a coincident! I pretend it’s my sister that’s take care of my on this last leg of journey.
Thank you for all your comments, prayers, emails, pictures to cheer me up. I miss you so!
Dear Helena, as always I am wishing you well. Thank you for sharing your process with us. Your spirits are good. You are an example to the rest of us.
Dear Helena,
I’m very happy to hear that you have “new toys” and extra care to make your life more comfortable.
I will continue to focus my prayers and chanting to also help in this stretch of your journey.
You are such an inspiration to me.
I will miss you so much. 😥
