Hospice hospitality

I have had many people get in touch theses last few weeks as i haven't been active online. Basically 3 weeks ago i woke up and felt as though I had been hit by a truck. I truly felt awful and ended up in bed permanently. I sunk deeper and deeper into a depression. I didn't take action i just let it go on with no end in sight. We finally phoned out the doctor and things picked up. I got in touch with my hospice nurse and she immediately got me a bed at the hospice. Why did i leave it so long? Denial? Who knows? All I do know is that it was exactly what I needed, absolute care and medication control. After one week i felt much better and dare I say I enjoyed my time in the hospice, the staff truly are amazing. I have learned a valuable lesson, to ask for the necessary help, I realise I am not so good at that. So while my health remains poor I am a lot better. Everything is relative after all.

I also had my scan this week so it is that time again awaiting results. I have no idea what will show but judging by new pains i am a bit concerned that it is now in my bones. However until I have the results there really is no point in projecting, we will deal with whatever may be when the time comes. In the meantime  I just have to live in the day, hamster cheeks and all and next time I need the support of the hospice I won't hesitate to ask.
