I called CH last night dad was much the same but reassured again if any urgent change someone would call. I said I really would like to be with dad if possible and end is near. I said I have got clothes already laid out to throw on if middle of the night if I need to make a dash to get there. The nurse actually asked me why my sister and I couldn't' talk especially as dad was at this stage and I felt bad about it as must be making their job a bit harder having to relate things twice and getting double calls. I could only tell the truth that we had never really got on and sister has been very unkind to me and was just not possible to talk much with her at all..
I rang CH this after around 2.30pm nurse said dad was very sleepy/sleeping a lot. Dad has some response to his name but is not asking for anything at all. I asked if dad was comfortable and she said yes dad was very comfortable which I said was reassuring to hear and I thanked her for looking after him. Nurse said to ring the reception tomorrow to ask about a visit to see dad. I don't think the CH has anyone on desk at weekends as always have to select floor number to get through at weekends. It might also be another reason why visits not allowed over weekend as less staff available. Sister said she was told 3 cases of covid so sounds like another staff member has caught it since other day.
Sister to stick the knife in a bit more has sent me a text message telling me dad worshipped her she was 'The apple of his eye' so what does that make me then something on his shoe

. My sister was definitely a 'Honeymoon baby' obvious by date of mum and dads marriage and she once said mum had said she was a real surprise/shock but she did feel loved. I do sometimes wonder if this has had some bearing on my sisters acceptance of me as I was born 2.5 years later and have always been under the assumption that I was not such a surprise baby. I'm pretty sure now my sister would have much preferred to be an only child.
