Second hospice nurse visit is tomorrow

Palliative care is a whole different ball of wax. The hospice caregivers' objective is not to cure the patient...that horse has been down the road so long it's been sending us postcards from Milwaukee and points east for weeks.

Peg's been eating smaller portions at a time, which makes digestion easier. Kinda dreading tapping her again tomorrow, because I know that fluid imbalance always screws up her appetite...but I also know if we wait too long there will be an even bigger fluid imbalance.

She had a delightful time today with our friend Mary while I got in a bike ride. Down the road we go, a half day at a time.
