Some care facilities do allow pets in for a visit. When I was in the hospital for a few months several years ago, hubby was able to bring Sabaka and Tasha (individually, though, not at the same time) to see me. It was exactly what I needed too! We just had to get a notice from our vet certifying they were up to date on all their vaccinations.Foggy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 1:03 pm I have this vision of a couple dozen of us sneaking past security and bringing the doggies in for an unlawful visit. We'll sneak 'em in one a them rolling laundry baskets, this isn't my first time. Just gotta keep the dogs quiet. A dog oughta be able to lie doggo, is my rulin' on the subject.
This is a fantasy, mind you. Nothing real intended ... yet.![]()
Depends on how near the end. The last week when it was obvious he wasn't going to make it, no. But he would have loved to have visitors when he felt ok. In his case, they weren't allowed because his immune system was so compromised so that will also be a factor with Gregg.

My thoughts also. Right now, a card would probably be best for both him and his family. I think it meant as much to me to know how liked and respected my dad was as it did to him. Even moreso once he didn't know the cards and emails were coming. But I knew.AndyinPA wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 1:53 pm Having been on the inside of this with my husband last year, I would say it's way too early to be making plans. I heard a lot of the same stuff in the early days, but when it became obvious he wasn't going to make it, they stopped talking about that. All cases are different, and I hope for a much better outcome, but I'd say wait and see.
I would be up for such a visit, if after further reflection and recovery that it would be something Gregg would like.Foggy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 7:27 am I was going to work on a Fogbow Meetup in Cincinnati this summer, mostly because Gregg is there and knows a lot of things we can do together, but now what? Maybe by then he'll be stable enough for a short group visit. There must be some way we can show our love and appreciation for the Gregg who's been such a great friend and contributor to this forum.
Thank you both. It's like I have a form of PTSD. I see something like it on TV, and the same feelings come to the surface. But, I still automatically look at the clock to see if it's time for her meds three times day. I still almost make her bed everyday. I still check her waste paper basket. I still check her wash cloth supply. It's going to be a while I think.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 12:49 amI just wanted to add my![]()

So far, so good. The cardiologist said the EKG was normal, but I’m right to be concerned. He said that although my parents and brothers were life-long smokers and I’m not, the family history is still concerning. So I have a stress test and an echocardiogram scheduled. for next month.Maybenaut wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 10:48 am In the waiting room waiting for my first appointment with a cardiologist.

Good for you for taking care of things! The older I get the less I want to go to the doctor!Maybenaut wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 12:25 pmSo far, so good.
