We had two nurses from the 'Hospice at home'service come to visit today.I wanted them to come because I was worried about Mo's personal hygiene.I'm not saying she was dirty lol I just wasn't too sure that when she had a wash in the morning if Mo was doing a proper job.If you knew Mo before,you would of known she was very particular about her cleanliness,her hair & what she wore during the day.The nurses spoke to me when they got here as mo was resting to get the lowdown but they did have her referral papers/notes so I didn't need to tell them a lot.Afterwards they spoke to Mo unfortunately she got very upset as did I which made her worse so I had to excuse myself and went into the lounge.They eventually calmed her down and managed to get her washed 'properly' & dressed.The nurses were going to wash her hair too but it was to much for Mo so they didn't.Even though the initial contact with Hospice at Home didn't go well I couldn't find any fault with them today.
