One of my last postings.....

a glimmer of positive progress for Judy Mo, and I have no doubt that helps relieve a little of your concerns.
I may be in a minority but I believe that the best thing for you all, you Judy and Daisey is together.
I can’t imagine how hard it is for you, but your determination is amazing Mo.

I continue to wish you all the very best.
 
Hi Mo. Good to hear that Judy was up and about and having some brecky albeit half a weetabix which is still OK. .
Just look after yourselves and get all the help you can, paid for or otherwise.
All the best Mo. Hugs to Judy. :h:
 
I’m glad you are all together, even though it’s difficult! You do need sleep, so I think a sit in nurse would really help, even though it’s expensive. As I’ve said before - now is your rainy day, so cost should not matter if you have the money. If you haven’t let us know & we will help! Sending a big hug to all three of you!

Good Morning and thankyou for all your suggestions...

What a difference a day makes..... Judy was up all bright and bushy tailed, she schuffled with her zimmer frame into the lounge and ate half a weetabix...

Then the nurse came and did her ablushions..... (He is black as all get out with an afro haircut, but hell of a nice lad.)...

Then went back to bed and zonked out...... Which gives me time to sort the cloths washing out, dog walker due at 10-30...

I have chased up the various people about getting help and most have said they will get back to me...
My paliative care nurse from the hospice suggested getting some sort of sit in nurse so I could get some sleep and rest... But she said it will cost me... and they don`t come cheap..
She does not want to get involved with Judy`s problems as she said it is me they would like in the hospice, and I am there number one concern... as they deal with mainly end of life cancer patients...

So we will plod on... Will keep you updated.... BUT..
Please say if it is getting boring for you and I can stop..

Thanks..

Not boring at all Mo!

My brother is at end of life, but still leading Marg his wife a dog’s life. Hospice at Home have organised sit in staff through the night so she can get some rest, and also through the day. She hasn’t taken any of it up 🤷‍♀️, but my point is, it’s there and for them it’s free.

You should contact the people looking after Judy’s care to ask for help. It’s obvious you need it, and it should be there.

That is excellent news about Judy. I agree with all the above who think you need the care and as long as you can afford it, please go for it. And never think you are being boring. We no longer have our motorhome but I log on every day to see how you are and I know I am not alone. X
 
These kind of threads have many benefits, having done similar when coping with my mother I found that writing things down and sharing them helped me no end

The support and good wishes offered made me feel so much less isolated, which was definitely a big issue for me, feeling like I was the first person dealing with this type of situation but eventually realising the ‘system’ has to do it day in day out but they seem keen to withhold all their knowledge that you do need right then 🙁

But I also found people who had been where I found myself and could point me towards the support they had also had to find for themselves

Much as you might be feeling so alone right now Mo you are not , the forum support is huge, take all the advice use the bits that make most sense to your situation

The answers are out there but sadly you have got to find the right door to knock down or phone to ring till it answers

The system knows you need help, go get it Mo, they may not offer till you scream, do it if needed

🙏❤️

It's not boring old-mo , enlightening I think. Don't anyone crucify me for saying this but the whole saga sums up what a lot of people think about the state of the NHS. Brilliant on the front line but absolute pants when it comes to care plans etc. In short things under the control of pen pushers and bean counters.

Anyway, some positive news about Judy which is fantastic and the fact that being busy is keeping you away from your joke books is even better 😂

Love and virtual hugs to you all and sorry about the rant. Been there ourselves

Believe it or not, your comments have helped me through these last few months no end...
Judy is doing so well, she has dumped the zimmer frame and is shuffling around quiet well..
And is eating child size portions of solid foods...
She was supposed to go to Oxford yesterday, but because of a cock up with the ambulance she did not go, instead our doctor came round to check her and me and said he did not think it was necessary, he phoned Oxford and they were happy with what he had said...... But she will have to go in a few weeks to have the Stent from her Not working kidney out,,, the last scan shows the cancer removal on her right kidney is fine...
Her speech is all understandable now and knows what she is saying and it makes sense... She still get`s confused with all the remote controls. A little story...
I fitted a push button buzzer which warns me that she needs something, I went into her bedroom and she said the remote for the TV is NOT working...... laid there Pointing the home portable phone at the TV and pressing buttons will not make it work... :doh: :rofl:
Well onwards and upwards, it is so lovely to see Judy getting back to some sort of normality after all these weeks....
Doubt there will be much to write about Judy now... So I think this thread will come to an end...
............................................................................................
Me......... I have been having a lot of pain these last few weeks and getting worse as time goes on.. (I still refuse to go into the hospice while I can still do a little to help out.. )
So I shall sign out now, AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT.... You are all truly wonderful people... Enjoy your travels and stay safe...
Best Regards to you all..
Maurice.
