I think hospice means something in Britain that it doesn't mean in America. Our friend in Ireland said "Are you getting hospice care?" and my blood went cold and I barely kept myself from saying, "No, God dammit, we're not there yet!"
Ugh, I am sorry. Pretty sure it means really different things. And it's so very triggering here.
Do any of you read conniewonnie? I'm charmed by what Robert Krulwich posted of it here: [link]
I am pretty sure even Puppycat thinks that. Big cats definitely do.

Now I'm not sure what it means in America, but in Britain the hospice is the place you go just before you die.
Ack. Yeah, that's what it means here.
Oof, that's a rough question to be asked.
According to Wikipedia, outside of the US, hospice care can mean palliative care facilities for any serious illness. Hopefully that's how your friend meant it.
I'm going to head to the airport in a few minutes. I wanted to give myself about 2-3 hours before my flight to get through security. I called the TSA this morning and also the airline I'm flying on, so at least I've established with them that I have no ID ahead of time.
