Lounge's EE food diary

[donnajt]

Hope no-one minds my non food dairy update.

The hospice nurse came yesterday and he requires emergency nursing/respite care as he's refusing to drink and take his meds. She has been an absolute angel and organised nursing/respite care for him as we can't provide what he needs. Dad asked her yesterday if she could organise something for him. Breaks my heart that he's not going to be at home but it's the right thing for him. He had his first spell of pain yesterday as well. He goes in tomorrow so if anyone could spare any thoughts for me it would be appreciated.

(((HUGS))) Anne, my heart goes out to you and your dad, bless your dad for making such a tough decision, he clearly has decided what only is best for him and for you and your family, good old dad's protect us fiercely forever.

Will be thinking of you both tomorrow Anne, god bless you x

Thinking of you and your wee dad.....

Hi Anne - hope today hasn't been too distressing for you or your Dad, hope he is settled and comfortable, lots of love, donna x

 

[loungelizard]

Thanks again Donna and Cammy. Dad is in and settled. Nursing home and staff are lovely. He's now on oral morphine:cry:

 

[donnajt]

(((HUG))), glad dad is settled, how are you coping?

 

[loungelizard]

Up and down really. Dad is very uncommunicative now and just keeps saying he wants to go. I've had to give the nursing home the name of the undertakers to contact as they need to know. That was heartbreaking today.

Oh my, you are having a tough time. Keep strong (I know I keep repeating it, sorry) x

 

[loungelizard]

Sad update. My Dad died last night. His pain was controlled and he was painfree which is a blessing. Feeling numb and running on autopilot.

 

[knitter]

Oh poor you, big hugs. Please look after yourself x

 

[loungelizard]

Thank you.

Big hugs hun, I am very very very sorry for your loss. Knowing he wasn't in any pain must have been a huge relief. There is no point in dragging on the suffering, his soul is now at rest and he would want you to smile remembering the good things rather than cry remembering the missed opportunities.

I also wanted to apologise for the little promotion post up there, I opened all diaries and just copied and pasted in without reading anything else, only saw the conversation going on before it just now and I am truly sorry, it was really inappropriate.

Biggest hugs, you are in my thoughts xxx

Thank you Ali and no offence taken at your earlier post.

Dad's funeral was yesterday and we hope that he would have been happy. It was short and simple which was what he requested with relatives and friends who could be there to celebrate his life.

Got to believe that he's now reunited with Mum and they'll both be looking down on us.

I'm so glad everything went well xx

 

[cammy98]

Hi LL. Just thought I would drop by and offer my condolences. My dad passed away last year and it is so so hard. Please take care.

Hi honey, hope you are doing as well as you can be doing in this situation. We're all thinking of you xxx

 

[donnajt]

Hi anne, am so sad to hear your dad passed away, but reading back through your diary he was ready and as you say he is reunited with your mum, just think of them cuddled up watching over you and the family, two bright stars, god bless you all, donna x
