My partner is in the final days of her battle the acute care nurses made their last visit today as they were unable to replace the cannula in her arm as her veins are collapsing. Her sense of smell has gone her speech is starting to slur she's is in no pain
The District nurse dropped of some plasters for her bed sores but now it looks like we are on her own
Oh I’m so sorry.
There’s an End of Life group on here that may be able to offer some support at this most horrendous difficult time.
Im thinking about you xx
