So Mum is stuffed. Melanoma has spread and she can’t tolerate anymore of the treatment. She’s on her last legs but we’re keeping her home and trying our best. Dad is doing some crazily good work keeping her going! Like this guy never changed a dirty nappy with five children but he’s cleaning up ma and doing gangbusters.
Still. Today we got a hospital bed delivered and set up to our door. We are poor. We have three pensioners in a tiny house but there’s some good socialized medicine available because it’s probably cheaper than hospital care! Ma is comfortable. All’s we can do.
We have a lovely family and it’s hard. Everyone wants to come up and say hello but mum is pretty stuffed. Hasn’t eaten in a couple of weeks but no pain. It’s nice we can keep her here for the meantime but it’s touch and go…If she goes to hospital again I don’t think she’ll leave!
Peace, love and understanding. Keep those you love close because it won’t ever last!
Sorry your mum is so ill. The loving way you talk about your parents and you care for her/each other is touching though, that’s something very valuable. I hope you can let this last period with your mum be filled with love, but it sounds as if you do. Wish you all the strength to deal with this.
Sorry about your mom @rogueone. Is your mom still able to talk? One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never got to say everything I wanted to my dad before he died. He was a great guy and if he hadn’t helped me for 30 years the chances are about 90% that I would be in a long term hospital somewhere or dead. It’s good your mom is around the two people who love her most at this point, and it’s good she’s not in pain. I’m a 100% sure you and your dad are doing everything you can to comfort her and make her comfortable. I’m sorry this is happening in your family, I’ve been through it too with both parents. Take care of your mom and take care of yourself.
I am glad you have this time with your mom in spite of the circumstances. Take full advantage and spend every moment you can together. Stay strong @rogueone.

. Take care and you’re family is I. My thoughts. All the best
