We had hoped to go out for an hour today, however, we didn't. The weather was cold, wet and windy but more to the point mum is just so tired. She is fine when she's awake and says she feels better but is sleeping so much.
This morning she got up about 10am. She took her meds and had her breakfast before going back to bed. She got up about 1pm, had some lunch and went back to bed. She got up at about 4pm and has…
Not a lot to say tonight. Mum has had another good day. She has slept a lot but has had no pain and says she feels better in herself. I know she's feeling better as she has been a bit bored not having been out since her chemo just under 2 weeks ago.

The GP came at 12.30pm and had a good chat to mum about her pain and a good look at the pain diary we'd been keeping at the request of the district nurse. We had…
Mum woke at 5.45am in considerable pain and took her oramorph. She went back to sleep until 11am but when she got up was in a lot of pain in her back and chest. Again she took the oramorph but by 1.30pm the pain was as bad as before. At 2.50pm I phoned the district nurse and told her what was happening.
