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.
