The powers that be can only offer a care package for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. In my opinion it's not enough, Nan needs someone there 24/7, yes she is mobile to a degree, but she is very weak as she is still not eating enough or taking sufficient fluids, also she is suffering from nausea, she has lost an awful lot of weight over the past few weeks and now weighs only eight and a half stones. Her wish is to come home with me, she is tired of fighting ill health. I've never seen her this way before, yesterday she clung to me with one hand, her other hand was grasping her locket which holds a picture of herself and my Grandad. She can only speak in a whisper, she wants to hold out until my birthday has passed, she has given up and my heart is breaking.
She will be coming here on discharge, the whole house is in agreement with the decision, we had a frank discussion about the things required and we all feel that this arangement will work.
