Sorry its been late informing you of what happened....
So last Thursday morning we go off to the hospital to see the MHT....very good on arrival, only waited 5mins, and we were a bit early.
Two guys sat asking Dave how he was feeling and what they think would benefit him.....up the Mirtazapine to 45mg.....do you agree David.."well yes, whatever you say". In steps the angry, frustrated cant believe this shite wife.
Firstly, I want to know what is it that you actually want to achieve with...
...NIN!
This is because there is another Chrisie on the 'thread that shall not be named' and it was causing confusion so as I look on everyone in Mac Land as my extended family I shall now be signing everying off with my family nickname 'Nin'.
Much love,

While we were waiting for the nurses I had got upset with Paul and Ewa and went outside and cried my eyes out.Things had just got on top of me,not for the first time but I did eventually come back in but still quite upset.I was just angry,well more frustrated than angry with Paul and Ewa about Mo's future care.Trying to get paul to agree with getting Mo into 'respite care' had been a 'bone of contention'between us for a little while now.Unfortunately the tears returned,frustrated,I said to Paul"Its...
Chris the District Nurse came up and as soon as she went into the bedroom,Mo was still doing the growling and clawing,but she knew what was happening.PAIN?. It was an indication of pain Mo was in so much pain with 'whatever' and the growling and crawling was her way of telling us all that as she couldn't actually say it.Mo was showing us that she was 'crawling up the wall'with the pain and that was also why,when she was left alone Mo started trying to bite herself without actually biting herself...

Phase III trial, expecting to enrol 400 adult patients affected by malignant pleural mesothelioma with disease progressing after a pemetrexed-based chemotherapy. The trial investigates the administration of NGR-hTNF plus best investigator’s choice (BIC) versus placebo plus BIC, where BIC includes either supportive care alone or combined with one chemotherapeutic agent (either doxorubicin, or gemcitabine, or vinorelbine). Randomisation ratio will be 1:1. Before randomisation...
This is just for friends of Sunny Leith. The rest of you, please skip over this blog.
I have been staring at this for 2 hours worrying if it comes across ok and is it going to cause bother etc so am just going to shut my eyes and press send cos life is too short. My intentions are honorable.
A friend has just said the phrase 'least said soonest mended' as I was writing this and I am going to take that advice and delete most of what I wrote here as I think she is right..... especially in this...
Charlotte came in today to help Mo with her personal care I told her how Mo was and that she may not be able to do anything today considering.Saying that,Charlotte managed to wash Mo's face and hands and apply some lotion to her dry skin and she decided to change Mo's nightshirt which I helped her with.Suddenly Mo just 'kicked off',started growling and getting angry with everyone,Charlotte,Sue and me she tried to what seemed like scratch people anywhere she could,hands,face, whatever and wherever...
Chris the District Nurse came in today with another new nurse to sort out Mo's syringe drivers and check them.There was a slight setback one of the meds had run out,the medazalam,I couldn't believe it how can you RUN OUT of meds?.I wasn't very happy about it and chewed the nurses ear off about it."This was supposed to be an easier transition from Mo having the cancer to Mo eventually dying,sad as it is" I told the new nurse.After speaking to Chris the District nurse we did get to the bottom of why...
Paul came up today to see his mum,still very stressed and upset as we all are,is not an easy ride for any of us but then dealing with cancer isn't easy for anyone,even harder when its family!.Its bad enough for Paul that his mum is dying and there's nothing we can do about it but on thursday night while he was here Ewa's brand new motorbike was stolen!!. A couple of bloody arseholes stole it, probably just for a laugh and the worst thing was Ewa said she saw them doing it. She dashed out to try and...
Mo's had a very busy day today not what she or I wanted at all,too many visitors stress and unsettle Mo. Firstly the district nurse and another nurse came in to check the syringe drivers and charge them up,which I didn't realise had to be done everyday. Unfortunately thanks to a cock-up at the pharmacy the meds that the nurses wanted hadn't been delivered so they had to come back,which could easily of been avoided.Take note Station Plaza pharmacy,Hastings!!. Charlotte,Mo's personal hygiene carer...
