Hospice Dilemma

Me: Good morning mom

Mom: Hi sweet doll

Me: How did you sleep?

Mom: Terrible. I had an awful dream.

Me: What happened?

Mom: A dog bit my hand off.

Me: Whoa. Did it hurt?

Mom: Whadya think?! ... yes!

<pause>

Me: So what did you do?

Mom: Tried to put it back on.

Me: The dog gave it back?

Mom: No, so I called out for you.

Me: Oh boy...what did I do?

Mom: I don't know, I woke up.

Me: Did you check your hands?

Mom: <looking at her hands> No, I forgot.

<pause>

Me: I think we would have called 911 for that one.
