Tough times

Less than one minute read time.

Hubby went into our local hospice last week, for symptom control and respite. I was keen for him to be seen in the hope that he would get a more holistic approach to his care. However, I am now torn between spending time with him in there and trying to take advantage of the fact I can now leave the house.

Things seem to have taken a sharp turn for the worst over the last 3 weeks and each day brings its own new challenges. He started taking oxygen today and was also given some antibiotics to tackle a potential chest infection. By this evening he seemed much brighter.

My rather too blunt GP said some very distubing things last week, suggesting that the end is rather closer than I had dared to contemplate. Things are getting very tough.

    I hope your husband is not in pain and that he is resting.  The only thing I would suggest for your dilemma of taking advantage of the time while he is in the hospice is to take each moment as it comes and do what you feel is right.

    Lots of love and thoughts xx
