Having a bad day

Good luck Elenium!

I have been awake ALL NIGHT.

Just helped mum wash and dress.  Terrible getting her going so early. She's shaking and trying not to vomit.

Hope ambulance men can carry her downstairs. 

Huh to all.

Hug not huh!

Early start. Take an hour at a time. Little chunks of time. Thinking of u. X

J sounds tough - understand really i do. Can you catch some sleep now? X

Am laying down til ambulance here. Wish I could take her but dangerous now she's so weak and pelvis fragile.

Will rest a bit after before taking dad in. Then get her tea tc at hospital ad in day unit food delivery unreliable. 

Then afternoon sleep for me I hope.

Statement of the obvious but I HATE THIS!

Roll on this arvo! My sleeping is dreadful. 3 beds in 4 days - i did that in my yoof for quite different reasons!

Thanks everyone.  It wasn't too bad.  Am doing reduced hours to start with, building up to full time over the next four weeks.  My work have been absolutely brilliant and I only started there in February.

How are you all feeling?  I hope Jenny and maisiemae that you've managed to get some sleep or will do soon.

My sister says that mum's about the same.  Had to take some extra morphine in the night and is sleeping now.  I won't see her today but will be with her tomorrow.  Not seen her since Sunday and am really missing her.  I know that I need to take some time for myself but it's difficult isn't it?

Dropped dad off. Now with Mum bloods had been messed up she'd been there 4 hours in a chair.

Had a sarnie. I took her to loo where she nearly collapsed.  

Just went dramatic on nurses here. 

"Mum has been here for 4 hours nothing has happened she needs commode her hip is liable to fracture."  I rang lovely macmillan nurse Diane.   Mum now in a bed as they can't have commode on day unit.  Mum cross as had to move again.  

She refused pain killers til diane said take them.

Am tired. Mum must be exhausted.  Bloods just arrived.  This one will finish at 5pm then a pause while they get next lot. Then another 3 hours. Home by 10?

I need to rest but...well you know. ..

Elenium well done at work! 

Elinium - sound like wonderful employers. jenny a large glass of something after a day like that! Heres hoping Alan is having a better day too for shopgood. Im useless at remembering the not name names! Today my mother phoned ME from her hospital bed and said hello darling i just wanted to say hello. I cried like a baby. Mum calling me and asking someone how to unlock her mobile and dial me. She hasnt eaten for 10 days has lost 6 stone nearly in 8 months (she was pretty big at the beginning)

Maisiemae your mum's a star.

My dad is back. Mum on second transfusion. 

I sat down at last keep nodding off.  My sister has cooked.  Would go to bed but may need us both to get mum back upstairs. ..

Zzzz

Hmmm might be some rejected rhubarb rum in the cupboard. .
