You have my heartfelt sympathies. My mother died May 25th at age 98. The last month of her life was a misery. I had to have her transported to the ER and could not go in to be with her. She was used to my sister and I staying with her during hospital sojourns. When they admitted her then one of us was allowed to visit for 4 hours a day.

After a few days she was sent to acute care nursing near our house and 14 days of quarantine where we could not go in to see her. She was very ill and afraid even though she was getting very good care. Then we were told we could visit once per week for 30 minutes. I was afraid she would die before we even got into see her. But since it was obvious she was in terrible shape I was allowed in for 1 hour per day. My mom lasted about three weeks there it was just a terrible thing all the way around. Frankly if somebody dropped a bomb on the CDC and Congress I wouldn’t shed a tear.

Did they lave legal medical power of attorney or just the relationship with the patient?

Thx for that.

I have an 86 year old mother who is bedridden and has dementia.

Thankfully, we can still see her.

Try EARTH CLINIC for natural remedies like vinegar or cranberry juice.
