I feel I must write one more blog post to explain how my Dear Peter went home.
We went to London as usual on Tuesday and stayed overnight in a hotel in Kensington. Peter was feeling well and we went for an Indian meal it was sublime and we sat in the restaurant eating and chatting and said it felt as if someone had flicked a switch and we were back to pre C days after the meal we sat in the bar and went to bed so happy and content. Wednesday he had tests at the Brompton and we came home home and he was tired but that's not been unusual lately and the rest of the week has been as usual . Our youngest daughter visited yesterday and in the evening Peter said he fancied spare ribs and a pancake roll which he ate and enjoyed. We kissed nun nite and slept well .This morning I woke at 6.45 and asked if he had taken his fast tab he said no swung his legs out of the bed and had a drink of water and his tablet then settled down in bed for a lie in as usual.
I came downstairs and made myself a coffee and checked my emails at about 7.15 I heard him snoring again this is not unusual as he would go back to sleep until I give him his first tinzaparin injection at 8am. but this morning the second snore sounded wrong.
I dashed upstairs and he was out cold pumping blood from his mouth, but not distressed or moving it was very sudden an ambulance came fast took us to QEQM hospital were I cannot fault the care he was made comfy in a nice bed as soon as we arrived, he nuzzled into my chest and said "Im getting comfy" I held him to me and kissed him, our daughters held his hands we said cheerio and he went home.
The Police came to take a statement from me as is usual in a sudden death.
I am very lucky to have a strong supportive family and dear friends here and around me. My Peter fought a stoic battle and won.. He died with dignity, gently and in love.
My Pete.. I will love the very bones of you for ever and relish the memories, Thank you for our girls and a life well lived XX
See you Later Mate xx
