Afternoon @2jays
I really can’t believe it’s just 3 days since she took such a downturn. It feels like weeks already. It’s not just the lack of sleep, it’s the walk through treacle that’s so draining.
Everything is done in bites. I don't want to be out the room much, so although I started filling the machine at 10.00, I’ve only just finished hanging the washing & it wasn’t a lot. I’ve thought about mopping the floor, but I don't think I’ll get to that today
Oooh. Are big capital hugs bigger & longer I’m imagining they are & I'm pinching the lot

I’m imagining they are & I'm pinching the lot Oh Sam it is such a precious time, 2jays is right but it's hard to see that through the tunnel vision at the time.
As long as you can manage to wash and dry bedding and enough clothes to throw on after 10 seconds in the shower then the mopping, dusting, hoovering etc. can go and get stu££ed! Don't give yourself more work XXX
Thinking of you all every day and sending you and Pooch many (((hugs))) and lots of love xxxxx

Hi @Prudence9
I’m trying to sort the washing, but I really do need to clean up. The house has that “sick person” smell. I obviously can’t hoover, but I did want to try lemon mopping the floors. I’ve not managed of course
Hugs are great. Pooch is now lying under mums profile bed. He looks so sad

Thank you, always appreciated
I’ll try to get Pooch to share my space & give him some love
Thank you
I could sure do with them now The priest will visit again tomorrow. Brother told me she’s implied she’d like to see him again 
Poor Pooch! He clearly knows something is wrong
I completely agree with the suggestion that you leave as much of the housework as you can bear to. Is there anyone who could do some for you? One of the many people you have helped out?
I am sure that the large font, capital letter hugs are extra strength. Mine are small but deceptively powerful (completely unlike me!) and I am sending more for you and Pooch ((((((hugs))))))

Energy. That’s what I’m missing @Prudence9 I feel like a wet dishcloth
You know things are bad when the Carer gives you a hug

Poor Pooch is right @Slugsta I let her go away in a big yellow van twice & he searched for her all the time. He’s mooching around all day now. Off his food. Comes for a short snuggle, then flops on the floor. He’s really good as a GM
J was going to help out, but she’s doing extra hours herself & is really tired. S the cleaner has said it’s too much for her & although promising to visit ....
I’ll just stock up on hugs & keep on plodding

I'm glad you've had a real one
It did feel good. I also had a guy that makes a fuss of Pooch when I walk by, stop his car, get out & give me a kiss
Some people are very sweet this week

Thank you. I’m running on empty tonight. Mums not let me cat nap at all today. Hugs are so nice when you feel like this
I’m struggling to stay awake, mums been doing the erratic breathing for a few hours now, It’s becoming my new normal.
The stubborn indepenant proud lady isn’t here, instead, there is a frail scared shadow. Her lips are blistered & ulcerated. She struggles to draw on a straw & a beaker cup is painful. She’s very thirsty but more than 3 sips at a time makes her vomit. This is cruel. Just how long must she keep doing this & why?
If Pooch was in all over pain, struggling to breath & unable to eat, although it would break my heart, I’d take him to the vet. My mum doesn’t get an option. She has to keep suffering.
My thread title has a new meaning tonight.
