It was similar to Susan...My mother died last March. It was similar to Susan's experience. There was no bed available when she needed one in the last week's, until the hospital the last week. She was in great pain at home as lower level pain killers could be given at home without medical supervision. And that could not come the week that she needed it, as her condition had to be assessed -tentatively in a montb. Too little too late. She didn't make the month to get assessed.
