After a month of broken nights I’m hoping that things are finally looking up.
My husband, Dementia and Terminal Cancer .took a very sudden downturn last week.
After a mix up , thinking the Hospice nurses would be looking after him ,I now find that it will be the district nurses..
I was in a state of collapse over the weekend and even, at one point threatened to walk away and leave him in their hands even though I know I couldn’t do that.
Looks like they are getting their act together.?. It has got to the stage where he is unable to help me lift him up.
At the moment they have given me morning and evening carers who obviously turn up just after I’ve seen him to the toilet.Not moaning ,that can’t be helped. and last night I had an overnight sitter and another one scheduled for tonight.
I manage to get 6 hours uninterrupted sleep. Could have done with twelve.
MH was up 4 times in the night again so I have to be grateful for small mercies. At least I slept through it.
My sister arrives today for a weeks stay.
Im hoping that with a couple of nights decent sleep and a few days out with my sister (brother in law watching out for hubby) I might be able to recharge my batteries.
