10-Aug 11:30 AM
Nurse: Klea

BP       138/78
Pulse    96
O2       97%
Temp     98.4
Resp     18

Notes: Pain level has not changed (at all);  Lungs and Heart sound Good!  (This is part of why Hospice wants to discharge Gma from the program)

------------------------
[Big] Thanks to Sharri for spending the last few days with Gma.

* Gma goes into Sunshine Terrace in the morning for a Respite visit.
   During her visit she will be taking a short trip to see her regular doctor...
   Hospice wants this done so *that* doctor can write the future Rxs, etc.
     and make further determination of her condition.
   Perhaps he will say that she needs to remain on  Hospice...  Stay Tuned.....
* I do believe that the Hospice Doctor is recommending(?) that Gma now needs 24x7 care...
---
On a personal note -- I was able to get in to see a doctor.  My own BP pressure has become so high the last few months that I have been a walking stroke or brain aneurysm waiting to happen...   It could be a long story, and almost interesting, but let's just say that he changed a medication and I think my BP will start to get back to normal.
