Work was along day but occupied me for most of it until early evening and then my mind started to wander elsewhere -so I made the decision to leav at that point rather than make mistakes.
On the way home I called the CH to see how mum is and she had rather wabbly decided to get out of bed and walk two meters to her chair (with lots of assistance) and then went back to sleep
. A reminder of how strong willed mum is. She ate some of her chicken curry, but I can't help thinking she thought it was a king prawn curry -one of her faves and so ate some of it. The first in weeks! Of course it won't reverse things, but it gave her some pleasure, so I am told.
When I visited last week I went armed with fruity and lemonade ice lollies and Pellegrino limonata, which has given her some comfort and pleasure, so I need to purchase more as she is taking this currently. Other than that she is the same at the moment. I had a long chat with a medical colleague yesterday about things and realistically think we are looking at days to a few weeks at the most. The colleague also raised spiritual needs, something that I had overlooked, especially in mums generation so I will call on Monday and address this, mum has always had her faith although not a church goer.
