Thank you for that info. Would Mo be able to travel in suitable medical transport, like a private ambulance?

I'm sorry if I'm asking too much but I feel desperately sad for his situation.

i believe everyone reading this thread and knowing mo and judy are also feeling desperately sad about the situation that they are in and wish it could be different..
it's heartbreaking..
and i'm sure many tears have been shed, they certainly have been here and still are..

dreadful things shouldn't happen to the nicest people, and they are just that, the nicest, loveliest couple you could ever meet..
wishing i could conjure up a miracle for them both to be well again and together..

biggest love and gentle hugs coming your way judy and our mister mo..

Thanks for all your wishes....

Bit of an update..... Not much really...
.........................................................................
There is very little change in Judy, unfortunately, She is not taking kindly to the physio... The NEW antibiotics seem to be helping, but food intake through her mouth is nil, so still on the pumped liquid food down her nose and into her tummy... That`s about it on Judy....

Daisy is fine and will not leave my side,,,,, Go to the toilet and she sit`s the other side of the door literally howling like a wolf, but her excited squeal has not come back...

Me........... A couple of days ago I thought that`s me I`m out of here... but not to be, I bounced back again... (OH Morphine I love you your a life saver.) The last couple of day`s I have felt reasonably fine..
So........... It`s Judy`s 78th birthday Wednesday 4th Sept.... Gord willing.... I shall leave here (Home) at silly "O" clock in the morning and drive up to Oxford, the traffic should be light`ish and I hope to be able to get a Disabled bay in the car park near the entrance...
I will stop every couple of hours and have forty winks,,,, And let Daisy stretch her legs......... YES I am taking Daisy as I cannot get anyone to look after her, she loves driving along with her nose out of the window.... (Possibly cos my farts stink with all the pills and potions I`m on... )

That is the plan at the moment, I have or will have 7 full oxygen bottles and I have aquired a 12 volt oxygenator... It does not pump the 6ltrs I need, but just sitting and driving should be enough...

But things change... so quickly in my household.... I may pop on site, then again I may not...
Hopefully my silly to most idea will cheer Judy up... :h:
I know it will cheer me up, it`s been well over a month... :frowny::crying1:

Bless you all........... :hugs::drinks:::
 
Your doing whats right Mo, your giving it all you can! Who could ask more of you than you are asking of yourself?

It will be a hard day for you and Judy will likely call you a silly old bugger but quietly appreciate every single moment.

Here’s wishing all goes well on the 4th and that Judy, you and Daisy have a wonderful day.
Take care Mo, and my best wishes and thoughts are with you.
 
Take care Mo. Could you stay over near the hospital and then drive back the next day? I found this, but there are probably Airbnbs as well.

Is there really no one who can be designated driver for Mo? Would be so much safer and the moral support during the journey would be fab, maybe Jim can highlight this need?
If all else fails I am happy to contribute to a private ambulance of sorts?

Cheers FIDGET .......... I have thought it all through....... Daisy will be left in the car for NO more than an hour, with the windows and sun roof open.... I hope if it all comes to fruition to pop in and see Judy for half an hour, then take Daisy for a walk (Me on my mobility scooter, not walking cos I cannot.)... And do that a couple of times then head back home..
Seems a long way and a lot of hassle for an hour or so`s visit but I hope it will cheer Judy up.... It will me just to see her..
I doubt the hospital would allow dog`s in, but I can ask, Judy is in her own room away from the main ward.. (I think)... so maybe...

Thanks.
Maurice.

Our dog was happier in the car than left at home so I am sure Daisy would rather be travelling with you x

good luck with it Mo colleague once brought a childs horse to the hospital, while another two took the bed and child down 13 floors to the main doors so she could see her best friend. She perked up no end afterwards. Same colleague also sneaked a dog onto the ward one night. she got away with loads but the kids made great progress.
 
Final update till I get back when !!!!!!

Had a long chat with the nurses that are looking after Judy and she is NOT co-operating one iota.
Will not even try eating food, does NOT co-operate with the physio people, wont answer her phone even though the nurses can hear it ring.. last time she just switched it off...

Daisy is going into some nice kennels Tuesday for !!!??? till I get back.... She has stayed there before and they really look after them, so I am not worried...
I had a fabulous offer from a funster to come and house sit Daisy, and the same people suggested coming to the hospital and taking her for a long walk while I visited...

But because Judy has just given up the will I have decided to go up and camp in my car for however long it takes to get her to see sense...
Next time I post it will be good news I HOPE.. 🤞🤞

Thanks from a very worried upset Old-Mo..
 
Oh Maurice I feel so very sorry for you all.

When my Mum had a major infection she acted totally out of character and when I had sepsis I was so ill I just wanted to be left to die. I am glad the medical staff had seen it all before and battled on though.

As I understand it infections and inflammation can get all through the body, including the brain so people can and do behave strangely, often long after the original infection has gone but it leaves a calling card behind. For me having someone I loved stay with me made a big difference and being told to keep fighting as I still had things to achieve.... Martin was not aware I could hear everything around me as for all intents and purposes I remained comotose. Some things are hazy but not being held quite firmly at times and being talked to. Music was great as well but there wasn't enough of that!!

I wish we lived closer as although I would be useless at practical stuff we could at least keep company.

Love to you all.
