Reply #91: I've heard they help you know when the time is near.

I know I will appreciate that. I don't know why they don't give the water IV. I don't really understand the morphine if he was in a coma, either. I hope the family have come to terms with the circumstances around his passing. Thank you so much for your loving wishes, and the same to you.

I've heard already that my mom is MUCH more comfortable due to morphine or other things that they weren't giving her while she was in "rehab." Rehab was a cruel joke, but I blame Medicaid and not the doctors on that one. I talked to her tonight, and she was home finally, having gone into the hospital in an ambulance on Feb. 1. She was SOOO glad to be home, in her room, with my dad there and her crazy little dog. She had her favorite dinner and was nice and woozy from whatever feelgood stuff they are now allowing her. Considering I haven't even seen her even marginally comfortable during the past 7 weeks, it was enough to make me weep with relief and joy.
