I wouldn't
The hospital sent Mom to rehab
but my ex was a nurse ,,I sprung her ,she was competent

I tool care of Grandpa 2 yrs
Dad 3 and Mom 14 months she was not ambulatory and on dialysis
She would have died at home ,but the hospital got my brother to send her to Hospice
Dad died at home
Grandpa was in congestive heart failure ,He died in the hospital ,,but he had gone through this for 15 yrs
I was actually expecting to take him home
Grandma got him to sign a DNR ,,I was taking care of him not her ,,the witch wanted him dead
He had been revived hundreds of times
After the DNR they wouldn't touch him ,,just let him die
I tried to revive him and the male nurses pulled me off him
I could have revived him ,,they said I was being selfish
to respect his wish's ,,that was her ,not him
