It seems I'm a patient now!

Oh moomy I know I speak the same sentiments as all on here, hoping this time is peaceful for you all, we are all with you virtually holding yours and hubs hands on this part of your journey xxxx

moomy so pleased you and hubs have family with you, caring for each other and giving loving support. Thinking of you , sending gentle hugs

Thinking of you all moomy and sending love and hugs xxx

The younger ones have been planning tonight’s night shift, and I think they will be doing it in pairs as I suspect it was a bit lonely especially in the wee small hours, plus it spares one to get drinks and make any phone calls needed. They are all still insistent that I sleep, but I will be in earshot if needed. And I will insist they get a sleep at some stage tomorrow too. Thank goodness for a bread machine as it’s working wonders! We’ve almost gone through 2 loaves already!

Hubs is a bit bubbly mostly in lower throat but summons up energy to cough a bit to clear it, the hospice are reluctant to add a medication to dry secretions too soon as it might be distressing for him. 

Im aware that I am really emotional still but that some of my mourning has been going on for months. This afternoon we took it in turns to get out for a short walk each, mine was to the chemist for the Oxycodone injection meds.

I'm finding it sad just reading what you say. Lots of love to every one of you.

It is sad but it’s also a privilege to look after someone who has been my rock and my best friend for 52 years. I will always love him and the wonderful times we’ve had together.

Beautifully expressed. So true. This makes me think about how I feel about my own relationship. We went for a walk again today and this time I didn't have any aches and pains or fall over (just a little slip..). It was very muddy. Found many early holly berries in the sunshine, whereas last year there were hardly any berries anywhere.

Thank you for sharing with us and know we are with you in love and spirit xx

What fine young folks moomy. They are a tribute to you both. They know that you’ve been shouldering the bulk of the care for months and particularly these last few weeks. It will do you so much good to have more rest, even if you don’t sleep the whole time. And, being you, I’m sure you’ll make sure they have breaks tomorrow. Wishing you all as peaceful  a night as possible, glad the medical team seem to be keeping on top of his symptoms as they arise. Lots of love and hugs, HFxxxx

Interesting you’ve seen lots of berries, Venicelagoon, country folk would insist that means a cold winter is on the way? I too have seen rose hips in abundance when I looked (much earlier as I haven’t walked for pleasure now for a good few weeks)

I hope not as I don’t fancy dealing with it!
