Just Spoke To My Mum
34 Answers
Not exactly a big deal normally for most, but for me it was.
After much haranguing, complaints, phone calls and emails by my sister, the ward manager finally relented to a visit (PPE'd of course) and she took mum a new mobile phone in.
Spoke to mum for nearly an hour. She just wanted to talk and talk and talk.
She's now down for surgery tomorrow, first on the list.
Have been warned that given my mums present health conditions that its risky but she's agreed and signed a DNR form.
Hope tonight isnt the last night that I get to speak to her...
Just wanted to say thanks to all who replied on my other threads re my mum.
Appriciate it, thank you.

//Sounds sensible, if she did die, anesthetized, on the operating table would it be such a terrible thing//
No it wouldn't Rowan!
It would be a blessing.
Wouldnt keep a dog alive in this state.
But Humans seem to have this thing about keeping
other Humans alive as long as possible as though its the
right thing to do.
Despite the suffering.
Its madness.
It would be kinder to all (not least my mum)
to let her go (with her consent...she's signed a DNR)
How much pain (and indignaty) do you have to see some one go through???
