My mother still insists she has doctor's appointments..
My mom signed up for hospice last time she was in the hospital. No one forced her to do it. She was also going to go to an assisted living place. At the last minute she changed her mind. My brother wanted to force her to go. I did not. Besides, no one would say she was incompetent. She is not, she is just stubborn and somewhat forgetful. Anyway, now she is saying she has a lung doctor appointment. She did have one, but she is no longer seeing the lung doctor because she is on HOSPICE. I keep telling her that, but she is saying it should be up to her! I reached out to the social worker to speak to her. Hopefully they can talk some sense into her. I don't know why she would want to go to all these doctors appointments. She can barely make it to the bathroom and back without losing her breath. (COPD) I don't know if she is actually forgetting everything they told her about hospice or if she just doesn't believe me. It is really frustrating. Her last text to me was "Just put me out of my misery" Lovely huh?
