annanotbob2's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unbelievable So she's being discharged, our Sam. She's not just plateau-ing, she's making tiny improvements - like her hands aren't spasming into tightly clenched little fists, and she's more present than before - the doctor who came today hadn't seen her since last Friday and was most definite about it and he's right. So she has fought off the septicemia again and may have more time than we thought before it returns, maybe a few months but probably weeks. Fuck. Ing. Hell. Yada yada rollercoaster etc etc. But today was grandson's birthday and what a present this was. He has had a genuinely happy birthday. Not only did she survive to see it but she's well enough to go back to the care home for a bit. They're over the moon and had applied for and secured funding for extra staff just in case this happened, bless them. We will have to come back here - they still keep on about 'end of life' care looming up in our future, but that future is a bit further away and it feels like a party. Leaving a hospice in a wheelchair, fuck yeah. Not till next week, due to having to do something or other with her medication that I didn't really listen to - I only heard the crucial bit. She's not actively dying right now. So I have crashed into a slump of exhaustion and will be off to my bed. laters xx 11:28 p.m. - 02.06.17 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
