Some drugs can be compounded with Tylenol. I really don't know about Morphine and Xanax. I know my daughter in law took Dilaudid, Fentanyl and Tylanol, all seperately.

Don't they have in-home hospice there? I thought they were bringing stuff in and you decided not to go that route. Most states have in-home hospice precisely so you can die amid your treasures and loved ones.

The one who came said she was brining her 5 yr old to save on child care, and when I called asking which hospital to go to having breathing problems she said I can't go to hospital she would send a truck with Xray in a few days when she could find one!
I told her never mind and I won't be needing them. Went to er and BP was to the moon lungs needed treatment which the er did.

Marie, have those meds been helping? They helped Kelly enormously.
I know everyone has advice and things are overwhelming, but you might consider calling the agency who sent that woman and discuss what was said. Neither bringing her child nor that statement about you not going to the hospital are appropriate. Hospice delivers care, not anxiety. They can get you someone to do the job properly...or you could find another resource that insurance will cover. Florida is full of elderly folks who have retired there. I gotta think that there are tons of proper businesses to serve this population.The one who came said she was brining her 5 yr old to save on child care, and when I called asking which hospital to go to having breathing problems she said I can't go to hospital she would send a truck with Xray in a few days when she could find one!

That is absolutely correct, John. Hospice does not involve those who participate in it bringing family members into the equation.
There are a number of Hospice agencies in NJ to choose from, as well as the hospital attached ones. For my daughter-in-law, we used the hospital recommended group and they were outstanding.
I realize each state differs, but what happened with Marie, would never make it in this state.

Yes, they are helping with the pain! Right now, Tylenol, Delaudid, and Xanax. This morning the pain was terrible and it relieved it.

Spouse has to take a 16-18 hour course to give shots, also Marie can't be away from Jake that long.
Marie does not want to be in a Hospice facility miles away from home.
Hospice said they would come out once a week and would pick the day and hours to come. They want too much control over you.

I am glad you are finding relief. Can you take the meds prophylactically. that is to prevent the pain from emerging instead of relieving it when it happens?

Don, You're totally right! Taking the meds before the pain gets bad is what she's doing now. But, when she wakes up in the morning, it's really bad and she has to wait for the meds to kick in.
