i am so lost and bewildered by all the decisions I’m having to make at the moment
noticed my husband is getting a large purple pressure sore on his hip. He is still in our bed upstairs. It’s important that he is there as he wants to have a shower in the morning and he is still able to do this. He also can sit on the loo still which is important for his dignity. However I’m really really worried about him getting an ulcer. He’s sleeping on our normal mattress which is firm, then I have a waterproof cover, then a cushy bed cover then the sheet, which I’m changing every 12 hours. He is wearing Tena mens but is having frequent urine leaks. I don’t care as he was dehydrated so I’m making him drink a lot. Sorry for the grim details but I really just don’t know at what point to get the hospice to bring a bed and pressure mattress. I’m probably trying to put off this as it feels like another step closer to the final days but I don’t want him to get an ulcer. That would be terrible. Any advice
