Spent a kinda relaxed weekend with mum, having had an horrendous week where she was bitter and angry and wouldnt talk, yesterday i sat next to her, put my arms around her, told her how much she means to us all, told her i cant imagine what she is thinking, but talked about her having the blood transfusion, promised her we wont make her stay any longer than needed, but also stressed she is very weak and the hospital may decide on a drip for her being dehydrated(sorry cant think what its called).
I may be wrong, although my mum has no energy whatsoever, cant even sit for more than 5 minutes, i asked if she had any pain, she said not, and thats when i said to her, i cant promise you but i dont think your knocking on heavens door mum your not in pain, from that moment she seemed to relax and we have had 2 days where there is no atmosphere (Me not understanding at her refusal to talk to me and keep pushing trying to get her to talk) Mum has slept 98% of the time.
Part of me is worried she will not come home, but i think we all think that when our loved one is so ill. Just hope that tomorrow goes smoothly and i bring her home in better condition than she went in.
Take care everyone,
