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.
