Granny's gone and done it again

Well it's good you can get out amongst them again. Look out, here comes Wishing.🙂
I went up and seen my brother in hospice this morning. He's laying there looking nearly like a corpse. I don't understand the hospice mantra. Once there, you're not given a chance to survive. No food, no water. You're basically just on display until you starve to death. I'd sooner have a bullet in the brain.
I am pretty sure they give food and water, but may suspend medication except for pain meds. Comfort measures. Sometimes patients refuse to eat or drink.
 
Do you have any favorites? Knowing you he will be 6 months before the name is picked. hahaha
By 6 days the poor critter will be overwhelmed with nicknames so the official name will kind of take a backseat anyway. I wouldn't try to name him until I meet him. Is he a Miles or an Augie? Bones or Moses? Romey or Axel? Couldn't say at this point. I just don’t want a name I've heard 100 times.

That's not how I understood hospice to work. I'm so sorry, Pert. That doesn't sound right. The lady I worked for, when she went on hospice, she was well cared for. Hospice's job was to keep her comfortable until she died. They taught us how to give her pain meds as needed. She was at home so we kept her hydrated the best we could though at the last it wasn't possible. But I know she didn't suffer. They were very supportive and compassionate.
