Grandpa was evaluated for hospice care today. I was really worried about what they were going to say. Mainly about how much longer they thought he had. I am feeling a lot more positive about the whole thing now. They aren't just here to administer medication and bathe him etc when needed. It sounds like they are really going to do whatever it takes and whatever he wants to make him more comfortable so that he can spend his time, however long that is, doing whatever he wants to do. I'm really happy about that. I want him to be able to enjoy himself and not be in pain. I think they will be able to help him manage his pain and hopefully it will improve his outlook as well. The nurse said that he is still in good enough health and that however long he has left on this Earth is going to be up to God and him from here on out. I am happy that he has been given this gift and hope that he can make the most of it.
I got my workout in today as usual. I needed to get it done a little quicker today so I kicked up the incline to 10% for part of the time. I was able to complete my workout in about 56 minutes, burning 800 calories and 100 grams of carbs. I didn't go quite as far but at least I made the goals that really count. Tomorrow is weigh day and I can't wait to see how much I've lost since I've started stepping it up more. Wish me luck! :)
Here's what I ate today:
BREAKFAST:
-apple slices w/peanut butter
LUNCH:
-s.f. lemonade
-leftover pulled pork
-pickle slices
DINNER:
-s.f. lemonade
-2 fish tacos (lo-carb tortillas, basa, cilantro-lime mayo, pico de gallo, salsa verde & shredded cabbage)
-refried beans w/shredded cheese & salsa verde

I am sorry about your Grandpa, but I hope the rest of his time is peaceful and happy. I used to volunteer at hospice, and those people really do know what they're doing.
