Not good
My grandmother is not expected to recover from her illnesses at this point.
They're moving her out of the hospital and back to Sunrise today or tomorrow and calling the Hospice folks. I gather that in keeping with the concept of hospice, that pallative care will be given but medical care will be discontinued.
I am... angry. I don't think this is an appropriate response to her problems at the moment. I think she deserves medical care, and I think the issue of finances is affecting the decisions that are being made. I don't think the extent of the DNR on file for her is appropriate for the same reasons, and I'm angry about that, too. I'm angry over the fact that I have absolutely 0 input into any of it. I'm also sad, but right now angry is winning. Probably because I'm afraid to let sad take over.
