Well that's a nice surprise to read, and as others have said hopefully a sign Helen is feeling less anxious, as I'm sure you must be xx
Well her bed must be comfortable, and the catering has passed muster, so just the caring to gauge now. I'm so glad that Helen has conceded her move was timely. As someone else mentioned, and as it's a Friday ( Mum's UTIs always struck on Fridays for some reason, which made it tricky to get abs) I'm sure you can always get help from a walk in centre if you need it.....and stop off for some cranberry juice on the way back home.
Love to you all....Me.x.x.x

Still thinking of you all, Sylvia, and hoping that Helen is comfortable and your UTI clears up quickly. Sending love and support xx
Just popping in Sylvia and glad Helen made the hospice . They are lovely places and the one my friend was in had French doors out into a beautiful garden . Friend could see it from her bed and enjoyed it very much . Thinking of you all xxxx

I'm glad you are feeling a little better Sylvia but keep drinking that water ☺.
It sounds like Helen has made the right decision at the right time. She continues to amaze me.

The syringe driver is in place and such an improvement on tablets. I expect the drugs will need tweaking to get the best dose . Helen was very sick , fortunately in the presence of the Doctor who was able to see how quickly the nausea came on. It was probably because she'd eaten so much more than usual.
It's been a sad day for Helen. Her bed faces two disposal bins a glove dispenser and a sink. She said " is this going to be the view I have when I draw my last breath?"
I'm staying overnight just in case she wakes and is fearful. Martin is shattered and needs a decent nights sleep. I have a recliner by Helens bed.

Oh my.....
That's a hard thing to deal with.... For Helen to think her last view on life could be a sink... bins.....Gloves....
Things, that in other circumstances, no one would give serious thought to....
The bins are there to hold all her frustration and anger. The gloves are silent hands waiting to hold her when she needs a hand to hold, and the sink is there to wash away her fears....
Sleep well xxxx

Absolutely agree.
Grannie, you are a wonderful friend. May you all have a peaceful night xxxThis is the view but somehow I doubt it will be Helens last view..
Helen on waking seems renewed......no tremor, stronger, more alert, sitting up in bed having a cup of tea, no need to steady the cup in case she spills, chatty, on her iPad , what an amazing change.
Yesterday, any head movement caused nausea and the room to spin. Not today!

Sylvia, the change in Helen must have lightened your heart. Hopefully the nausea will be more controlled now?
How about you? Did you manage to get some AB's?
I'm hoping that you all have a better day.
Peaceful thoughts to you all.
Love,
