My partner is in hospital away from home. I'm getting very emotional messages.
Yesterday when I visited he was walking, was able to open a bottle I couldn't.
Today in very low mood, lots of pain. I'm scared. At the same time is it possible that this is the end? Don't people get weak before end?
Can you please tell me more? He is in pain, I am mortified.
Hi Sly Cooper. Please just let me say how sorry I am for you and your Partner. Please don't drive yourself into a depression, thinking that your partner is on his last. It may be side effects from any Medication that he is receiving from the hospital. They may have him on something new.
The Emotional Messages are just because he Loves You and Cancer seems to make people do this. They see what its doing to us carers and it hurts them. Morphine is a depressant as well as a Good Pain reliever, but makes you weak also.
Keep Your Chin Up. Don't let him see you are upset as it will hurt him more.
God Bless You Both
