mum went to see dad today and was called into see the dr...
basically he explained that dad had declined over the past few days - we could see that from our visits - that he isnt eating, the nurses are getting him to drink tho.
but that he wants mum to be prepared because dad might have a collapse sometime in the near future and what did mum wish them to do??
active resuss or TLC......
mum wanted one of us there but the dr had a kind chat and explained he needed a decision....
mum chose TLC
mum was in a state when she arrived at mine...but to do an active resus with the paddles, tubes, adrenilin injections etc.....that would be too cruel
i feel i should of been prepared but i feel in shock.....i thought i was ready to hear that news...i thought i was prepared that one day my dad was going to die.
i am not prepared at all
what will i do when it happens???
thank you for listening
