    The hospice nurse and social worker visited today. Frank slept most of the day, but did thank them for coming. The nurse will return on Tuesday. He is complaining about shortness of breath, so they may order oxygen. His abdomen is very large considering he is not eating that much. I fear that is why he is short of breath. Could be fluid in the abdomen. Thank you for all the kind words and hugs. This is a very scary place to be and I am glad I found all of you.

    Thank you for all your information. Lainy, I would like a copy of your what to expect when the end is near. I don’t know how to email you. Hospice comes tomorrow for an evaluation. I was hoping for some specific info from them. LadyLinden, my husband seems to be in the same place you are in. He has lymph node matastasis also. My husband and I both believe that God is in control and that we will go to heaven when we pass. Our faith sustains us. I have learned to live with the “one day at a time” mantra since his first stroke. I was hoping we would have some good days left. We wanted to visit our daughter, her husband and our granddaughter in Florida in March, but I don’t think that is going to happen. We have been married over 40 years and I am hoping for some good days. Ironic, huh? We don’t appreciate our good days when we are having them!
