1) I helped my MIL's sister die at Home at not in Hospital when she was at the end of her fight With Cancer .
She was SO scared of Dying and fought it Every Step right up until the end . She was scared to fall asleep
so she tried not to sleep at all . This caused her to doze on and off all day long , even in the middle of Conversations.
She would almost fall out of her chair causing me to go without sleep for about 70 hours until she did fall out of her
recliner . To stay awake she would not lean back in her chair and refused to lay down in her bed . It wasn't until that
Happened that her daughters and the Hospice nurses upped her Comfort level(morphine) and brought in a Hospital bed that
she finally relented and laid down sedated comfortable and not scared anymore . Her feet were blistering up in the weeks
before death because her heart wasn't pumping well . She died a day later .
2) my husband just had the widow maker heart attack 2 months ago . The 2 years prior to the heart attack my husband was
working full time . He had covid that he just couldn't recover from so after 3 weeks Quit his job (so he could be rehired later)
the 2 years at home he napped on and off all day and lost 70 pounds for no apparent reason other than he had no appetite .
after hospitalization and a stent put in and stabilization he is gaining weight and feels Great the Doctor just released him to
go back to work with Zero restrictions .
