Surely they will send nurses to do most of the care

You're doing the right thing, Mellymoo.
It will be hard going for the duration, but the sad thing is it won't be for long, and it is the greatest gift you can give her now. :A

I just hope there will be someone around to enable me to have my last moments at home.

Nope some care does not all. Basic things like keeping clean and watered some medication possibly draining her stomach will know more shortly

However much you want to help, mellymoo, you do still need to be realistic about what is doable, for both your sakes. So don't let the discharge team steamroller you into doing more than you can sensibly manage. You getting ill because of the pressure isn't going to help anyone. There's only one of you and you're already split every which way - be very clear about what YOU need in order to cope. If you don't speak up, the system will take advantage.
Look after yourself, because at times like this, other people may not give you the consideration you need to keep going.

Morning sickness really bad today
Struggling with no longer being on the anti-d's too.
Little Sod has decided that the best way to cheer me up however is to smack me in the face with multiple slobbery soft toys!

I hope everyone is keeping warm and safe this evening. Sorry I haven't replied to anyone personally, head is a bit swimmy.

Dog training: food manners. Conclusion: Gitdog doesn't have any, but does look very cute when he's harassing people for food. Tent dwellers be warned.

Hope anyone feeling urgh for any reason has a better day tomorrow. Compliment of the day - being asked if I was a homeless person because of my hair and clothes. Wouldn't have minded so much, but I'd got my new work clobber on.:rotfl: (plus it wasn't said to offend, more in the spirit of a genuine enquiry.)

No probs, Katy. You look after yourself.




WaS, I hope you're ok this evening.
