My mum has been ill for well over 15 years, she has been on end of life for the past year, she has been in bed for 6 months, she hasn’t spoken words for over a year, her skin is so delicate she can’t be moved, she can’t do anything herself, she’s feed puréed food, her drinks are thickened, she has a chest infection for the second time, and we are not giving her antibiotics but she fought the last infection.
Today when I visited she was gurgling with saliva, the nursing home gave her an injection to dry her fluids. She is so disturbed, just growls and makes horrible noises, she is being given injections to calm her down.
It is so horrible, mum would hate to be like this, and now I’m just waiting for her to die..... I love her so dearly and I can’t stand to see her suffer, but when will this hell finally end??
