The doctor didnt come. Theres no point in me phoning the surgery because it want registered as a visit, he was going to pop in on his day off. Apparantly he works somewhere else Tuesday and Wednesday.
Cant see much point anyway, her urine this morning looks to have lots of blood in it, could be just an infection, but I think this is probably it.
I would rather she goes with a chest infection, so probably best left.
I can phone the district nurse if she is in psin but so far says she isnt and to be honest, the fight is going out of me now, whats the point in rowing with someone, I cantbtake take that.
I was so annoyed with the News this morning, new blood tests to detect heart attacks, then in the next item, NHS is so stretched there is not enough care to round, so lets preserve everyone so they can live to be 100, but dont ask for care because you wont get, we are too stretched.
Sorry, rant over, time for coffee. But thank you all for the love you have shown me.

Sorry to hear you are having such a tough time at the moment. It is very difficult to keep going and put on a brave face.
I have to admit, when both my father and mother were in their final days all I could think of was "Just let go, be at peace". It seemed a bit selfish but I really did not want to see them hanging on to life by a thread, with no prospect of recovery. I think of it as releasing them, setting their spirits free, but I know a lot of people disagree with this line of thought.

Hi Lyn,

You must look after yourself as well. Be strong.
Lyn Wishing you well
