Rang the St Michaels hospice helpline this morning didn'y go well.I was trying to arrange for someone to come to the bungalow & give Mo a wash,probably hasnt had a 'proper' wash in a week,she tries but its hard.Hopefully they could wash her hair also as i was worried about doing it myself because of the biopsy scarring.The person i spoke to,whether it was intentional or not,said something along the lines about the service only being available to 'end of life' patients.You have to be aware,Mo was only assessed yesterday by another nurse so info about her illness/condition may not of filtered down yet to the relevant people.Surely an inoperable,incurable cancer of the brain counts as 'end of life'!! Anyway the long & the short of it is someones coming around tomorrow to give Mo a wash and wash her hair and i sent of an e-mail to St Michaels Hospice 'airing my concerns' or in plain english 'angry'!.
