Finally

Less than one minute read time.

Finally today we have heard that there is a bed for dad in the hospice, he is to go in tomorrow.  He is in a lot of pain today, the doctors have been out twice this morning, they have given him a injection which I presume is painkillers so he is sound asleep just now.  The skin on his legs is starting to crack and they think there might be a bit of a infection there so they have started him on antibiotics, if he is still in pain when he wakens up mum just has to call the GP out again and they may call to see if that bed is ready today.  I just feel relief for all of us, mum cant see the relief yet because her heart knows that this is it.  I definately feel a lot better about it because the hospice is right across the road from my work so I can be there in 30 seconds if I need to.

    Thank you for your comments.  It is a relief that he will finally be made comfortable and than mum will manage to rest a bit.  Its just dawned on me today that this is really happening and it has scared me so much I dont know what I will do when the times comes.

    Hi Terri

    Am pleased that you have finally been able to get some continutity of care for your dad and that he will be more comfortable.  You have been so brave and supportive through all this.  I hope this takes some of the strain.  Is he going into Roxburgh? (I am in Aberdeen) Judi x
