I truly wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info. I've had to put both my Mom and Dad in Hospice. My Mom lasted 2 days, and my Dad a week. I always assumed (incorrectly) that was the last stop.

Nurses make regular checks on them and provide pain medication. Only stipulation is they can't provide drugs to improve an illness. If they improve on their own they "graduate" out. Depending on the issue they will provide hospital beds, oxygen, wheelchairs, etc. While being on hospice is obviously not a positive thing it doesn't always mean they'll only last a week or two |

It depends on what the underlying health problems are. According to Wikipedia he had cancer back in the early 90s. Could be that's back, or maybe he's just 87 and his body is failing. Those who know don't seem to be talking.
My MIL was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer in 2017. She responded to the treatment at first, but eventually it took such a terrible toll on her that she said no more. They stopped the treatment and put her in hospice. Her lungs immediately began to fill with fluid, and she was dead the next day. That's what I think of when somebody says "hospice." God this thread is depressing. |

In his honor, I had a smoke and Fresca yesterday. GOAT. Always enjoyed him and Nick B on Inside the NFL. Great player, great Ambassador of the game. Rest well sir. You've earned it.
