Hospice

I wasn't aware there were so many different Hospice. After checking around, we decided to go to the one connected with the local hospital. The lady, Cindy, came out today. She's in her mid 50's been a nurse for 30 years, and hospice for 5. She's a big tall woman,which I felt good might be good when I need more physical help. She's not syrupy, but talks like it is, which mom likes. She will come once a week till needed more just to talk and see how things are going and if there is any change. It's nice just to have someone to call if either of us have any questions. She's changing her pain meds from what she has for shingles to one that is better help with some of her pain that may be from some of her cancers.

She's doing fine now that the shingles are under control. We went to the library today and tomorrow she gets her hair done. So far, life is good.
