So unfair

This life is so unfair p.s.p. is so cruel. After being told he would not survive and after 4 weeks in hospital suffering from pneumonia my poor father was discharged last Thursday. We were so happy to have him back home. Due to the fact he was nil by mouth for ten days he had lost a considerable amount of weight and was very weak but we planned to feed him up and get his strength back up. On Sunday evening his breathing became laboured and his temperature rose . He was again admitted to hospital suffering once again from pneumonia. This cruel disease has again taken away our little pleasure of having him home. Doctors not sure if he will survive this time but said that last time so who knows? Horrible to see him getting weaker and weaker. When does this torture end for him and for us ? Feel like I am riding an emotional roller coaster just now.

You are right about PSP being so cruel watching your love one slowly slipping away from you, and you can't stop it. All I can say is be strong and do your best for them, take time out for 5 minutes in a quiet room.refresh yourself ,love and hope to you, Peter

A big hug and much love.
