“I care about her very much and don’t want to hurt her feelings. But this is just... flipping me out.”

I suspect the one who is really flipping out is the mother who is sicker than a dog. I feel sorry for her. She’s only 73. That’s not very old, too young to die.

You probably don't remember this thread. I was just taking a trip down memory lane and was reading it again. You know what? The lady died 6 months later (almost to the day.) After another $900,000 (literally) in hospital costs, they finally told her it was time for hospice. The hospice workers gave her some morphine and some pamphlets on what to expect. The mom died within 4 days, before the daughter had even had time to read the pamphlets. A million dollars that lady's last year of life cost. And she was miserable too, the whole time. I don't know what the answer is, I don't even know what the question was. I just know that having seen this, I don't think we are on the right track.
