    3Dogs, how I feel for you. :grouphug:.
    It takes me back a couple of years when Mum was in a similar situation. I used to go to the home to feed her (amongst other stuff she had Alzeimer's and would refuse food from the staff) and made sure that each time I saw her that I told her that I loved her and that she was the best Mum in the world. Even tho she was in alot of pain, her mouth would move to try and smile, her arm would try to hug me and she would try to brush her lips on my face. She was unable to talk properly at this stage. It meant such alot to her that her family always went to see her. (We were lucky as at the time we all lived fairly close to the home). The doctors were surprised that she held on for so long. One night, we got a call that she'd been taken to hospital, bleeding profusely. We got to the hospital as the ambulance arrived. The paramedic told us that she had taken viagra:eek::eek:. When the doctor was examining her, I told her what the paramedic had said. She said explained what was wrong but we all burst out laughing. Mum, who hadn't been able to string two words together for ages, opened her eyes, giggled and said 'You silly b**g*rs, do you think I need that in my condition!' It was like having my old mum back. She got taken up to a ward and at 3 o'clock the doctor told us to go home as there was nothing else we could do and to think if we wanted her to be buried/cremated. We were devasted, A couple of hours later, the hospital called to say that mum was being taken back to the home.!When I got to the hospital, the staff apologised for the distress that the doctors' words had caused!
    Mum lasted another few months and at the end, all of her family were with her. The last words she ever heard were that she was the very bestest mum in the whole world, that we all loved her so much and thanked her for all she'd done for us and how lucky we were to have had her. She looked at all of us as if she knew it was the end and smiled.

    I am just so pleased that she was surrounded by love and not alone.

    Now for the soppy part. Make sure that your loved ones know that you love them (and not just today because it's Valentines Day!) because you never know what's round the corner.

    Happy Birthday Decay, hope that you have a good one.:bdaycake:

    well for the first time in months I put make up on this morning (you never know I MIGHT meet someone today love is in the air!) what a waste of time that was- it's all down my face now!

    Lovely post, thanks for sharing such a personal time xxx

    Hugs to 3dogs and family. Have had my mum in hospital since boxing day first 4 weeks or so were touch and go but fingers crossed she is stable now. She has always been demanding but is beating all records at the moment - she is being horrible to nurses and visitors. She was moved to a diff hospital with a rehab ward last night, I waited 5 hours with her while they sorted transport and a bed, when I gave her a kiss and said I had to go home (after staying and settling her new place) I got a huhh and I am ashamed to i bit and said thanks mum thats just the response I need. Going to be a hard visit tonight, she is really pulling out all the emotional blackmail with the whole family. She is 68 and needs to take a leaf out of some of the 90 year olds around her on the ward and start trying to do more for herself or they have told her she will end up in nursing care. I have tried everything being nice and being mean to try to get her to listen to nurses and doctors but she is so difficult.

    So sorry for rant and feeling sorry for myself.
