AN UPDATE ON MY WIFE

[thehusband]

Haven't posted for a while, and not at all on this new site, but just to give an update. I think the last time i said my wife was going to be 'hospice at home' palliative care. Well that has changed and she has now been in the hospice 2 weeks. Staff are lovely and apart from the reason she is in there - you couldnt think of a nicer place to stay.

Our daughters and her siblings from all over the world have visited and yesterday we thought she wouldnt pull through - but she did and today she is feeling much brighter and i have taken her for a spin in her wheelchair.

She had 5 litres of ascites drained 3 weeks or so ago and i guess she is building up to pretty near that again. She has very bad Oedema and this prevents her from standing, let alone walking.

Yet with all this she remains the most beautiful, caring and humble person i have ever known. I dont think she has too long left and i will die inside the day her battle ends, but i think god that i found her 44 years ago.

Take care everyone, and ANNIE - good luck at the Marsden, hope it works out for you.

Dear Laurence

Your post really has touched me. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this but I'm pleased that you felt you could post because I've been wondering about you both whenever I listen to the playlist. Please give Christina my very best wishes - from an online friend she's never met but who still cares very deeply about her.

It was very sweet of you to mention me and my transfer to the RM. Thanks for that. It seems it was the right move for me.

xx Annie

Laurence, While I am delighted to see you post, the circumstances are distressing. It is nice that family and friends have been able to visit, this must be helpful to you both. Having you by her side, as you have been for so long, I'm sure will continue to bring Christina some comfort. Thank you for updating us.

I'm sorry to hear your wife is near the end, but she has you to cherish every moment left, with family and friends as well. I'm glad she was feeling well enough to go for a walk in the sunshine today, may the sunshine for a few more days yet, and wish you well for the future.

Love n hugs

So sorry to hear the battle your dear wife is having, how wonderful that she had the strength to enjoy the sunshine with you today.

Your love for each other shines through the sadness.

So sorry to hear that Christina is so near the end! I am hoping for hospice at home care at the end but realise that I may end up at the hospice! Please give Christina my best and I am sending her as many positive vibes as I can manage!
