Days they said.
It has been 5 weeks since the first call to the out of hours Dr when her pain was so bad that I could not help her move.
Fantastic support from DN and the Care team for end of life (Age UK) and rapid response nurses and Mum is not in pain. Family good too, come when they can.
But it is so hard. I just want it to be over too. You are never prepared for The emotional roller coaster.
She has not eaten in all this time and barely drinks, swallowing is difficult. Sleeping mostly.
This morning I have accepted that she will go when she is ready and not to take any notice of what the professionals say. (I was told not to bother picking up the next prescription of diamorphine because she wouldn't need it) That was on New years eve when I was trying to be prepared for the closures on the bank holiday and weekend.
So pleased she could stay at home though, it has been worth it
