I had my hospice consultation today. The most immediate effect is I will immediately be put on delayed release morphine every twelve hours. I had thought that morphine would make me tired and not able to concentrate but the nurse said that the delayed effect usually makes that better. She said that a physical therapist would be coming to our house and checking out what assistive equipment I have and get me anything I lacked. Also I would meet the nurse that would come to my house once a week or as needed. Although it's to bad she won't be that nurse, as she was very nice, had a soothing voice, and is cute! My team will consist of four people: nurse, social worker, hospice aide, and chaplain.
