Something’s not right

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

Sending hugs @Shaz51 

 

I've been through it - it's like having a big tooth out - it's something we dread before hand - scary when it happens and hurts for a while afterwards

 

And we get it back together and get on with finishing the lives they gave us

 

I care heaps - I know it's tough - thinking of you a lot right now

big hugs @Shaz51
sounds like an awful night for you both. hope youve had some time to rest today and that youll be able to sleep tonight Heart

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

HeartHeart @Shaz51 & @Owlunar.

 

@Owlunar, it's on Dad's advanced care plan that he doesn't want life-extending treatment in the case of a terminal condition, or any treatment that's really intrusive. We haven't got an official DNR order. Might be something to discuss with the aged care home staff, or his doctor. Thank you for the heads up.

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

That would be a good idea @Smc  - esp when you know what your Dad wants - something we would respect but the ambos or ED staff might legally have to extend life when they can

 

Which would be rotten for all concerned - even the ambos and ED staff

 

I think - I really believe - that one of the great things we can do for our parents is to ensure that if they wish it that they can be allowed to leave with dignity - after a long life they surely deserve a peaceful end

 

All the best with that - I will have you in my thoughts tonight
