Granny's gone and done it again

thank both of you for the prayers. One of us is missing something here. Its not up to me what he decides. If it was he would be in the hospital but he has told me all our married life He doesn't want to be in the hospital. The very thought made him sick. He has begged me to make sure that doesn't happen. On the flip side All his Drs said he is not a candidate for any type of surgery. They would admit him just to watch him die. He deserves better.
Granny, even if you never signed a power of attorney document, you are like his power of attorney. That's the kind of decisions you are making. I wish you would have hospice. They help you take care of your loved one at home. Hospice is more then end of life. He is not alone in not wanting to go to the hospital. You have my prayers and may you be given the wisdom to know what decisions to make🙏🙏

So he wants you to keep him home to watch him die? ☹️ Granny, that's what will happen. Are you okay with that?
 
The thing is, in the hospital they can keep him comfortable, out of pain, in ways you can't do for him at home. I don't know if palliative care can. He could be getting pain medication via IV in the hospital. Can palliative care do that for him? Granny I'm sorry it's gotten to this point. I'm praying too, Sweetheart. For both of you. ❤️🙏❤️
 
Did I tell you the airline took my remote speaker out of my luggage and confiscated it? :eek: I didn't even realize it was missing until last night as I was getting ready for bed and discovered it missing. When I was going through security the gal held it up and asked is this a speaker and I said yes. She said your bag has to go back through. She didn't say I couldn't have it, or it wasn't sllowed or anything like that. So I waited while it went back through the x-ray, picked up my bag and went on my merry way. I usually listen to my music at night. But it was gone! Fortunately I also brought my earbuds so I still have my bedtime music. My own fault, I guess, for not knowing it wasn't allowed. But I'm still sad I have to buy a new one when I get home.
To much potential for smuggling drugs is likely why they pitched it.

That's a weird thing to not be allowed, even on a carry-on bag. I can see them needing to actually see it vs just through the bag x-ray, but once confirmed it should have been put back in. Did you report it missing to the airlines?

He isn't in pain except for the bones in his neck. His Dr. gave him new PPs and most of the time he wont take them.
Palliative care is specialized medical care for people living with a serious illness. This type of care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of the illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family.

Palliative care is provided by a specially-trained team of doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and other specialists who work together with a patient’s other doctors to provide an extra layer of support. Palliative care is based on the needs of the patient, not on the patient’s prognosis. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness, and it can be provided along with curative treatment
 
It is extremely hard to not try and force him to go. It eats at my soul . I feel like Im the bad guy here. I have begged and pleaded for him to go but I do know these hospitals here and I know what they can and cant do. They cant do anything for him that isn't already being done.
I'm tired all, 3 hrs. sleep last night. I'm gonna try to get to bed earlier than normal. Sweet dreams all.
