Toni is in a lot of pain still in his rectum but the Palliative Care nurse has just been and she thinks it may be something pressing on the nerve so once again she is springing to the rescue and contacting our GP to arrange for some medication for him.
Otherwise he would be okay. The pain has such a knock on effect in that it makes him feel so down and poorly that he has no appetite and so he isn't eating. He is planning his evening meal however so hopefully he'll be ready for it then. Once I've collected the prescription and he's taken the first dose he should start to feel better. Certainly the Buscopan he was prescribed for the griping colicky pain is working.
So he hasn't got out of bed and doesn't feel like it which is a shame. I always know there will be good and bad days - its just that the bad days can be so hard.
