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…

After her meds she usually has a rest for an hour or two then I help her get washed & dressed. Today though she spent the rest of the day until 2-2.30ish in…
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…
