Mum has had multiple myeloma for at least ten years now, she's went through chemo and had radiation for tumours on her head and side. Over the years she has become less and less mobile and now we've reached the point that she is in hospital but cannot get home unless there is 24/7 care. Myself and my brother cannot give her this, it would mean giving up jobs and myself giving up my flat to move in with her and care for her only to be homeless and unemployed when she passes.
Mum has made it extremely clear that she does not want put in a care home but as she lacks capacity this is our only option, i physically feel sick at the thought of telling her and my brother keeps breaking down in tears, we do not want to do this to her but are wise enough to know that it's in her best interests. The decision has been made worse by the hospital informing her that she WAS being discharged back home then going back on it 24hrs later.
We've looked at all options for keeping her home but as there is no overnight care in our area it cant happen. If anyone has any ideas that please can you share them with me....im in Scotland by the way.
