On Nov. 4 my mother was in such pain, she called her hospice contact to ask for morphine. The nurse was having it sent to my house so we could get it to her asap
We told hospice we were concerned about leaving morphine with her do to an old suicide attempt. It occurred several decades ago
On Nov. 5 hospice came to check on my mother but stopped to talk with Jessica. When they came to moms room they told me they couldn't do anything with mom until she got a psych evaluation.
I couldn't believe my ears. My mother was on her bed unable to get up. Jessica had heard the suicide word and told hospice my mother would be evicted if I didn't get her in my car and drive her to an e.R. For a psych.
I find it hard to tell you how shocking that info was to me. My mothers defibrilatorwas turned off hospice was there. Everyone was clear moms time was near
I went up and had a chat with Jessica. She had a knee jerk reaction to the word suicide and did nothing to get any contextual information
