BB has checked into h o s p i c e care in Las Vegas. 
 
The link would not work.... apparently due to the combination of prohibited letters in the link that got replaced with stars...... 
 
A legend is about to leave the stage for the final time.

I am sorry to hear this.
I'm sure he will get the best of care but hosp1ce does not try to make you well. The hospital does that, hosp1ce is a home service that tries to make you more comfortable but they do not try to make you better and in fact (I learned this with my dad) if someone is on hosp1ce and 911 is called and the person goes to the hospital, hosp1ce will drop the person and pick them back up after the hospital stay... but they will tell family that if the 'patient" take a turn for the worse to call them (hosp1ce) first.
In other words hosp1ce is only there to help see that someone does not die in pain or discomfort, they are there to ease the passing not to heal. So Herb is right, it is the last final exit. I hope they do their job well.
 
Sad.

From reading some news stories it looks like his kids are already making trouble. I can tell you from experience that it is hard to let someone die, even when you know it is their time and when they are tired and they really don't want to go to the hospital. My niece and sister kept sending my dad to the hospital over the period of near a year. He kept saying he did not want to go to the hospital. When he got there he wanted to come home. They just wouldn't stop and wouldn't respect his wishes. I sincerely hope that his kids aren't jumping to conclusions. I don't know but I'd be willing to wager that his manager knows and respects his wishes more than the kids do. Family members tend to think of their loss more than of the person who is suffering. I hope they get this sorted out for his sake.
Money almost always causes a lot of trouble and that is REALLY sad. I've seen so many families torn apart over estates and it all just slips away. Life is short and so many lives are ruined by the love of money.
I'm sorry but I have fresh wounds from crap like this. I finally had to intervene with my mom's care to stop them from sending her to the ER to just prolong her death. That may sound cold but believe me, it isn't. Mom was blind, had dementia, was 97, bed ridden... on hosp1ce and they wanted to call 911 when she was going. Same with dad, he was ready, he was 96, he was tired and a trip to the hospital would only have prolonged his suffering... but they wanted to do it, he DID NOT want to go and I had to stop it. So, I'm the bad guy but I don't think so.
I realy hope BB's kids get a handle on what is going on and an understanding so that they truly think of him and not of themselves. I may be wrong about them but it is waddling and quacking... and I think it is a duck.
 
Even sadder now.

I feel for you jbow. I went through the same issues with my mom a couple years back and it was really rough. My sister and I signed the DNR after the doctors gave us all the facts. When she died I was holding her hand. After 90+ years I thinks that's not too bad.
