Today the hospice nurse visited!

It was with mixed emotions that I saw the hospice nurse today.  

As I live alone I have decided that I will end my daysin the local hospice and the wonderful nurse was so helpful.  She will be coming back next week and has given me homework - put my affairs in order by the time she comes again.  She is organising prescriptions for all the things I now have to buy myself, a wrist alarm in case I need help, visits to complementary therapies at the hospice and attendace allowance.  She said I can go to their daily get togethers where they do art classes etc with lunch.  She put my mind at rest with the pain relief saying that if it gets too bad they will take me in for a week and sort me out.

I just have to say how relieved I am, and can now stop crying wondering what was going to happen to me.

  • I just want to say a huge thanks for all your replies.  This forum has kept me sane for such a long while and the amazing people are always there to help with everything.

    I do have family and lots of friends but when you live alone there is a lot of time when you need someone to talk to - and you are always there.

    This is not a journey any one of us want to take but thank you all for being by my side along the way. x
