Hospice Nurse came today to meet Mr. Morphine! She wanted to show us how to use it. It is an eye dropper and you take 5mg – 10mg under the tongue. He will not be having a pain pump. The 5 – 10 dose is every hour. I asked her how he is doing and she said he is sliding rather quickly. I needed to know so I could advise his kids and out of town relatives.
Hanging in, holding on, have not used any valium yet. At this point I feel it would be selfish of me to want his life prolonged. He has fought uphill for 5 years and he needs some peace. I have been making comfort foods for him and he is eating less than half of what he used to, not snacking and has lost 12 Lbs in the last 3 weeks. No hospital bed yet, I imagine within the next 2 weeks that may happen. That is my update and hoping you are all doing good!
