Cheryl, I'm so sorry that you and Doug are facing this pain and sadness. You've both been through so much, and fought so hard. I hope that the new hospice nurse can reduce Doug's pain. Please don't worry about posting too much truth, this thread is for you and you don't need to please or protect anyone here.

(((HUGS)))
