These last two weeks have been some rollercoaster ride, between going back and forth to the hospital visiting pop and taking him to his specialist appointments and then running down to my nan who is in bed with the flu and trying to cook and clean for my husband and little girl ive barely had time to think about anything else.
Then when i went to visit pop yesterday he was in deep conversation with a lady who ive never seen before and for the first time in ages as i watched through the window in his door i seen him smile which brought a tear to my eye. She introduced herself as christine and shes a macmillan nurse and a very nice one at that. At first i panicked thinking oh god is this it but have a long conversation with christine and a few unanswered questions which me and pop had i must say i felt alot better about things and so does pop.
I hoped i wouldnt have to get anyone else involved in pops care and although it was the hospital who contacted her im happy for some help. Ive had to admit to myself as much as i hate to do so that i cant do it all myself as the last two weeks have left me feeling emotionally and physically drained and thats without being at work as well.
And so the macmillan angel has arrived in our life and although im still going to be with pop all the way ive got someone who i can lean on and look for guidence throughout this difficult time. Shes a wonderful lady with years of experience and kind eyes that tells me its ok i understand which means alot. After only one conversation with christine i know shes gonna be a god send to us all and that i am thankful of.
