Sorry for you and your friend Hunni..
I agree, I would rather still have a functioning mind and die from something else.
Dianne has finally accepted that this will be mums last.. They are giving her morphine and if she is still with us on Monday they will put a pump in.
Mum was cheerful today, confused at times. She hasn't eaten anything since breakfast yesterday. But we are keeping the fluid's up.
With the help of the nurse who is one of the few wonderful ones there we have talked about the end of care, and Dianne will use the same undertaker that I did. I told her I would go with her to get the Funeral grant money, which mum is entitled to and everyone should use it. Insurance or not.
Mums Sister Aunty Bub (Norma) and her daughter finally came. Aunty bub is 96 and still living on her own. Her hubby has been gone for 50 years. Pity she left but it so late.. But they have realised this will be the last. It was funny tho when Mum dismissed her and told her to go home and have a sleep lol
I managed to get Dianne to come down to have lunch together, to give her a break.
I came home with two new dresses. Caron, Colleens daughter gave them to me. One is a little big but ill throw a couple of darts in and it will be good.
Dianne still wants to have the bbq tomorrow so its still on at this stage. I said to keep it on if she can. I always felt doing Normal stuff at this time helps.
Its very dark with rainy clouds, but its not letting go yet.
