My wife who is at some stage of end of life.After sleeping / slumbering for over 36 hours and during that time refusing offers help to get up, change PJ’s etc, my daughter arrived with the little one. Wife sat up and said right, better get showered then. Took tremendous effort to do it but was showered, dressed and downstairs. Enjoyed the whole family round. When putting her to bed I said please warn me when you’re intending to just sleep for 36 hours and not actually be dying. She said she felt another one coming on.
is this pattern normal?
