Couldn't eat and drunk very little gave her pain killers didn't help had to phone 111 who ordered her an ambulance at 10.45am they came at 8pm her skin went a greyish colour it was so sad just sitting there as nothing could do
They finally came took her to the hospital where they have now kept her in for tests ect
Its the not knowing
Hi Jennyw I am sorry to hear your Mom was in such pain and how awful for her to have to wait such a long time for an ambulance. It must have been terrible for you as well seeing your Mom in pain. I am sure you’re mom appreciated you being with her what must have seems a long wait.
I know what it’s like my husband is very poorly now but with the help of the local hospice his pain is more manageable. I still feel so helpless sometimes.
Hopefully the hospital will sort your Mom’s pain for her and make her more comfortable.
Hugs and strength to you both xx
Thanks for the replay sorry about your husband I hope all going as well as expected it's so sad seeing ones you love ill
Its the not knowing that gets to us
