Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
A hostage deal and a temporary truce will be brought to the government's vote in a few hours. I'm holding my breathe until this is decided and the kids are back home (OK, not home because of the mass evacuation, but in Israel). We really need some good news about it.
Also, I hereby present the most accurate geopolitical analysis of the Israeli-Arab conflict I've seen to date, which also answers the question, "how are you holding up?" [link]

I hope the deal passes!

Perfect!

Seems accurate to me.
Dad is coming home from rehab tomorrow and starting hospice care. If anyone has any advice about what to ask the hospice nurse when they come tomorrow, I’d appreciate it.
Oh, lisah, I don't have any experience so no advice on questions, but please know I'm thinking of you and your family. So much love to you.
Ask the hospice nurse about what you should expect. They have been through this many times and my experience is that they are very kind and want to support the family, not just the patient.
You can ask about what to look for at end of life and what you should expect to see from your Dad.
My heart goes out to you.

Oh, lisah. That is so difficult. Lots of love to you. {{}}
love and support, lisah.

They'll know how to direct the conversation and bring up the subjects where you will need input. As ND notes, they've done this a lot so they don't expect you to know the nuances of the situation.
There will be some basic parameters laid out (no intubation, no chest compressions, etc.).
They'll tell you to call the hospice nurse instead of 911 if there's an issue to maintain those parameters.
There'll be discussion on keeping a meds log for painkillers.
If there's any equipment (G-Tube for us, oxygen for many) you'll be shown how to handle it.
They'll guide you on how to understand the progression and when your dad is close.
