bless! dog and hoody looks bloody gorgeous!
I am still a bit bleughhhh, went to sil's today (next story on the list lol!) and as i walked up the pathway she exclaimed "bloody nora you look f***g awful!" Thanks! coughing is less intense but still an issue on the pissing oneself front bloody bladder treatments!
So.......... we went to sil's today, after a phone call to say "might be a good idea to come and see MIL and say your goodbyes" it was also sil's birthday so we made a day of it, took the kids and a cake and then took turns in playing with the kids and visiting mil, didn't take the kids in as when we saw her we realised it would just upset them. she is unrecognisable tbh, very sad. she is fading day by day and has now stopped eating, we all think it is only a matter of time now, docs seem to agree. we also think that she had waited to see the new baby- which she did on Sunday, there has been a dramatic downturn since then. soooo..... i think we are all very sad, but also hoping that the suffering doesn't go on too long, without being heartless the sooner the better because as she is now, it is all the things that she never wanted to be (old lady slumped in a hosp bed, doubly incontinent, bad bed sores, unaware of visitors, having no quality of life!)
We sat down as a 'team' and sorted out details between us so that we all know what is going to happen, dealt with what each of us want from the funeral and who will sort things and liase iyswim, seemed a terrible thing to do as she isn't dead, but at least it is done while we were all able to think straight and with practical heads on.
doom and gloom again from the rwu camp! sorry!
pennies- the port will soon dissapear from your conciousness, i don't notice mine at all any more, just give it some more time and i'm sure it will get much easier very quickly.
