It was another mixed up confusing day. I went to meet the new hospice company and sign up and then the SNF said they do not have a contract with them…so what, not my problem. Oh yes of course it is, that means their doctor it not approved. Of course not, that would mean competition.it got straightened out but not after the SNF told me I really should go with the other recommendation they told me about b/c 12 years ago the Social Workers grandfather was being cared for by them. I think not, thanks anyway.  I want an independent doctor and staff that are not PUPPETS for this administration.  

Let’s hope this works out. I had to tell mom’s story to two of the new hospice individuals. Maybe I should make a short film?  The new nurse wants to change mom‘s diagnosis from end of life dementia to stroke.  Well hell yes, WTF? I am not privy to that information. Anyway, let’s see how this all goes. 

The nurse wants to administer some meds that will hopefully tell us if it’s nerve issues or just “regular” pain. I am good with that. 

I met mom’s roommate’s daughter today and exchanged contact info. Nice to get to know her, I am sure it will come in handy to keep the disputes at a minimum.
