Just Spoke To My Mum

[nailit]

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.

Thats lovely news Nailit, I hope you rest easier this evening for having spoken to her. I wish her well for tomorrow.

Really pleased, nailit xx hoping for the best outcome- whatever that turns out to be xxx

Wishing your mum all the best Nailit. I'm pleased that you could be with her, and I'm sure it gave her much comfort. I too hope for the best outcome. x

//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???

I agree, although it's a different subject really, probably for a different thread xx

[mallyh]

hope things go well xx

And a DNACPR, as they are now... are only about CPR and in certain situations. It may not mean what you think, nailit x

Thinking of you and your mum Nailit , try and stay strong .God bless the two of you.

Very pleased you managed to speak to her at last and that your sister managed a visit. I'm sure both events will have given your mother much pleasure and reassurance.

Hope all goes well for her tomorrow. She sounds like a fighter which is good.

[maggiebee]

So pleased you were able to speak to your mum and my thoughts are with her for tomorrow. Chin up nailit, you couldn't have done any more to help. Try to get some sleep.

What a great result, I'm sure it gave great comfort to your mum, your sister and of course, you. Everything crossed for tomorrow. x

[seekeerz]

So glad this was made possible for all of you - and good thoughts for the operation, with positive outcomes for all xx

[Lie-in King]

I'm glad you managed to sort a decent chat with your mum, Nailit & I hope tomorrow goes as smoothly as possible. My best wishes to you all.

I do so hope that the operation went well and your mum is comfortable in recovery. Take care of yourself.
