      If you told me my 94 year old grandma was resting comfortably, I would be packing bags and checking flights.

        If you told me my 94 year old grandpa was doing anything other than putzing around in the yard, garage or woodshop I’d be in my car blowing through red lights.

          Frequently that phrase is used when there’s “nothing more they can do” but have given a lot of pain meds.

      The phrase isn’t worrisome unless the patient is in hospice. To me it just means he was seen by medical professionals and is chilling in a hospital bed while they double check labs and such. Been there, done that.
