:-x My wife Dx 8/09 returned to the hospital on a Hospice admin yesterday with pneumonia. Today Hospice let me know they want to have a family meeting to discuss moving her to a care facility. I want to swear a lot but there isn't anyone to direct my anger at. She is the love of my life, and it feels like i am losing half of myself. I don't know if this means Hospice doesn't think she has much longer or what. I will not be the one to put her into a home, I have always promised her I wouldn't. Her brother has Med power of attorney, so if it has to be done he will. Sorry all just venting.

don't blame you for one minute ,i would be upset also .but, thier is probley a reason she gave him medical power of attorney my thinking is that he would do what she think's would be too hard for you to do or to be the one to 2nd guess yourself and bring any amount of guilt to yourself as i want a special friend to be mine just for that reason. i know thing's are tough right now but, you did come to the right place to vent . my thought's are with you

Very sorry about your wife's situation. I suppose you will find out more at the family meeting. Can hospice not be administered at your home?
Thinking of you during this difficult time.

Hi Biskethead.
You need to talk with the the hospice staff to find out why they think that it is appropriate to refer her to long term care and not home with you.
It may that her nursing needs supersede what you can reasonably be expected to provide at home. It really is a difficult, emotional feeling that makes you feel guilty even though it may be the best dolution to accomodate your wife's needs.

Got the call today, they can't get her fever down, and the pneumonia isn't going away. Dr want's a decision as to whether she will be transferred home to die. Hospice on their way to the hospital........: cry:

She is home, not able to get the pneumonia cleared up entirely. I don't want her to suffer anymore. She is now only able to move her good side slightly, and it takes an hour to understand what she needs. I am so sad for her it feels almost unbearable. Just discovered that the in home care she is getting is costing me $800 a week. Almost equal to my income, can't pay the caregivers and still feed and house the kids, can't quit my job, to take care of her.
I did set up an account for donations, so her family and church can help out some, don't know if that will work or not. I am pissed at god for allowing this to happen to my wife. She doesn't deserve this suffering. Makes me want to swear a lot...

awww Biskit... I'm so sorry things are looking so grim. If you need to swear.. do it. My son will occasionally call me from work just to say "This is still bull&*%$ right?" "Yes Kev, it still is." "OK" Conversation over. I have a few issues with God myself... my brilliant father died of Alzheimer's complications, my marathon running rocket scientist husband has ALS with Cognitive Involvement. Not Funny!! But I figure She has very broad shoulders and can put up with us humans coping as best we can, even if it includes the occasional "Rant against God"
Take care of yourself.. your family needs you to!
