Sheer frustration

Less than one minute read time.

I have lost complete faith in the NHS.  They was debating whether to send dad home or whether to wait for a bed to become available at the hospice.  They took him off IV fluids the other night and they was to see how he was managing with drinking fluids.  Both his legs have swollen up because the tumour is blocking both lymph nodes now so his legs are massive.  I go in today and speak to the nurse and she tells me he has been taken off the waiting list for the hospice, they wouldnt have told us if I hadnt asked.  I am absolutely fuming, he is already started the not drinking or eating he has a little food which the hospital has deemed enough.  I know they are going to send him home and we will be back where we was a couple of weeks ago.  Words cannot decribe how mad I am, its also a Friday which means there is nothing I can do till Monday when he is being released on Sunday.
