Update - first and foremost I FEEL THE LOVE so thanks so much for sending it. I’ve gotten a lot of inquiries regarding the transition over to hospice and I just wanted to share that it’s been a simple and seamless transition with not a lot to tell about. More than anything it seems to focus on not only managing my pain but also making my health care needs manageable from home while making sure I’m also prepared for the challenges to come - which totally works with my nature. Essentially I’ve gone from going to the doctors office regularly to getting all my med checks done at home at my convenience. My meds are all being sorted and delivered, no more trips to the pharmacy, and a nursing aide will come in twice a week to help me with hygiene and light cleaning like changing my sheets and such.  Other then that I’m no longer tied to a toxic chemo schedule that tears me down and I have wiggle room on my meds so I still have room for adjustment before things get to a point where it takes more or stronger meds to manage my pain - so for now the trick is to not get caught up in how many pain free days I have left and just take full advantage of them while I have them. I see a day at the state fair coming and am still hoping for some outings in my future.
