I am struggling being here at dads, I really don't think he can stay at home much longer, unless the blood transfusion has worked a miracle..... We have organised a do not resuss and also at end of life, he has some medication to end it. This is what he wants and I believe it is also the best options now. He can barely get out of the chair now, it takes him many attempts..... and is so shaky and unstable.... its sad, but we all want him now (including him) to go in his sleep.
I am leaving here in a few hours.....
Left a bit earlier, and back home now and it feels good, washing on, going to have a shower soon, get in my pjs and relax :). I am knackered, it takes a lot out of you being at the Cancer Centre for 6 hours plus the early morning getting up, drive etc :).
It is heartbreaking Jaxx when they get to that stage. But I understand where he's coming from. My husband had DNR etc set in place and passed peacefully last year. Just remember to look after yourself.Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I am glad that is his plans, he would hate to be resussed and not being able to do anything. Sorry for your loss of your husband .
DeleteThat's sad Lorraine, I can't imaging watching my partner dying but have been through it with my parents.Jaxx, when you say medication to end it I presume you mean morhine? Definitely the best way at the end.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure whet medicine they will use they injected something into mum and she passed within a couple of minutes...... she had not eaten or drunken and could not talk or anything for 6 weeks.
