I can't believe its nearly a month since my last post.
The last few weeks have been very up and down. julie had another dose of Radio to the Spine yesterday to try and relieve new pains. She is now on a lot more Diamorphine to supress the pain she has.
We have had Two failed attempts to get off the Syringe Driver. Both occasions resulted in Julie having severe withdrawl symptoms. It appears that she is not absorbing oral medication so will have to stay on a Driver for the foreseable future.
I was woken at 4.45am this morning by a very aggitated Wife because the Syringe Driver had failed to deliver anthing since midday yesterday. It only took an hour before a Nurse arrived to deliver a sub cut cocktail but to Julie it seemed an eternity.
Its getting very tireing for the both of us.
