What constitutes hospice?

6. Thanks for checking

I don't know that I'm "officially" in hospice, but I'm not seeking additional treatment. That said, "hospice" usually denotes 6 months or less expected and I don't have any reason to think I'll be dead in 6 months, and people can stay in hospice status much longer than that. I'm kind of in this netherworld.

Reminds me of a beer run to Canada I made with a friend when I was in college. Didn't bother to bring enough American money to get the beer back through the border (they won't take Canadian) forcing us to try to get back into Canada and explain to the customs officer we weren't trying to *enter* Canada, we were trying to leave it. For a while we were stuck where we couldn't get back into Canada, but couldn't get into the U.S. (ultimately we solved it by letting them confiscate a case or two of Bradör so we could afford the tax duty on the remainder).

Not sure why this reminds me of that, but hey...
