I sat up with her last night and after a few hours sleep, my Dad woke me. A family friend, who used to be a cancer nurse, had stayed up to sit with her. I was told by her that my mum on her way. So I went and sat with her. Today has been an incredibly stressful and upsetting day. My mum is still with us. We had to call out the nurses a few times to give her pain meds and meds to calm her agitation.
The house is full of family and friends at the moment...
…..this time I didn’t run away! I did it! I went to the hospital, stayed in and had the stomach drain done. It has helped and I do feel a bit more comfortable…..but not sure I’d do it again unless entirely necessary. As revenge my body retaliated and I now have water balloons for legs! Oh and, after coming home on Friday, I came down with a lovely tummy bug. Another reason to avoid hospitals where possible. It’s now Wednesday and despite feeling absolutely shattered...
Last week my 82yr old aunt was told her ovarian cancer from 3 yrs ago had returned & was now in her liver & lung. She is in hospital & has been given weeks to live. After her original surgery (which they botched) she was so disheartened she stopped treatment half way through her chemo & discharged herself from further checkups so it's no surprise it's returned.
I thought I could deal with this but unfortunately everything seems to be becoming a big deal. Along with taking...
Today i had a meeting with HR and my matron AND all i heared was blah blah blah blah.

My mum's condition has deteriorated rapidly over the past few days. Yesterday, the doctors at the hospice told us that the end was near for my mum and that she had a few days to live. I don't know how it happened and it's almost as if something happened overnight Sunday to push her into the final stage.
Today she arrived home. We have a special hospital bed in the dining room and we are sitting with her. My sister and I had a talk with her and we said what we wanted to say. Her pupils...
