"Comin' through the rye"....... Apr 21, 2008 10:34 am
Mood: contemplative, 1827 Views
Having this opporunity is a rare one in that it's like I'm taking a car trip down a road I have not traveled before.

Most people have been socialized into shunning the very thought of becoming "old". I'm in the driving seat with only the foggest notion to where the road is going to take me.

Like many dear ones here, we start getting to know our local ER and the medical staff begin calling us by our first names.

When hospitalized, the hospital takes away all your normal meds, you go on their schedule. Any one my age knows what I'm talking about.

There's much to do going on their part in using IVs, tubes and button that are often out or reach. I just can't go backt to that, not any more.

So enters Hospice. Knowedge, assistance, 24 hour phone access. Equipment, nebulizers AND throwing the meds away. Hay! Wait a minute, I thought my dailey health could not go forward without all those pills.

Not only do they pay for everything, I don't have to be conceren about anything.

Add to that the medication explosions going on in my head, and you may understand why I don't feel like I can make any sense at all.

Thank you for your love and concern. Love Pollyanna
