Who can I talk to?

DH has terminal cancer. Last night he had a massive stroke, we sat for over an hour waiting for an ambulance. The hospital he is in is strictly no visiting, he can't call or text me as he has lost his speech and he has an unsafe swallow, he is confused and agitated. I think I might need support to get through today. Who can I call? Macmillan were useless at the start of our journey. I have called for updates but feel guilty at phoning as I know they are busy and they can't always get to the phone. I just need to talk to someone.

I have spoken to the ward sister, she has said we absolutely meet the criteria for me visiting him and that we should never have been told otherwise. I am now trying to book a visit to him and that is a whole new story.

It is our six month wedding anniversary today Grin, six whole months.

Thank goodness that is progress. I would tell them you will be arriving at x time and staying most of the day to assist him in his needs.

Good news. Good luck navigating the booking system.

I'm so glad. Please ask her to speak with the staff who refused you. I'm still shocked that happened. X
