We thought our mother, age 93, was a gonner early this year. Hospital emergency room, regular room, skilled nursing etc.
Doctor advised it was okay to take her home, for hospice healthcare. My younger sister is her full time caregiver. I visit twice per week.
My father died not from the cancer surgery, for which he was in the hospital. He died from infection which was contracted in the filthy disease ridden hospital.
So your family stand better chances of longer lives,, at your homes. In my lay person view.
Maybe Barbara has 19 lives like my mother.
