This is the list of medications Joann takes in three tablet groups set up for
her daily. The concentration is on the morphine and anything else that might
keep her comfortable. Remember that the hospice focus is on keeping her
comfortable. This is no longer a recovery situation. As a result, most of her
former medications such as Lipitor, Nitroglycerine, etc., are no longer in this
list.

Scot and Jo Ann,
I was just surfing Blogger and stumbled on your site. As a daughter that has been living with a mother who has been ill with cancer for the last year and a half, I totally feel for you. I completely understand the need to write your feelings/experiences down and to share with others. I'll be checking in from time to time.
