Bsky is my safe place. Thank you all for your love and support, and the care you show for Tony.

Tony’s back at the resthome. Got him a cheeseburger. He’s tired & confused: thinks I’m lying about it being where he lives but happy to stay. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Hospice will be in touch tomorrow. Dr thinks septicaemia likely to start within days.
I’m holding on by a very thin thread after a long, hard day.

No. Was discharged by hospice about 18 months ago when stable.

Sitting in the patient lounge at ED while they X-ray his foot. Suspect I have a face like thunder.

I’m at ED with Tony. No idea how long it will take.

I’m angry sad frustrated exhausted. Dr gave him option of seeing if amputation possible, against every written wish. It may not be possible anyway & she admits might not heal & be more painful. So why?

Couldn’t we let him go with some dignity?

I love them and they always get my vote but it’s been feeling really off for a while now.

Cath S @cathsheard.bsky.social · 14h

I’m so pleased for you. I know it’s a big thing to do but so positively life changing 🩷

Lots of colouring going on. And work is very understanding.

😢 Babu rang & put me onto Tony. He’s being very difficult. Confused, thinks we’re all lying to him. Agitated & untrusting. Had an awful conversation.

I couldn’t talk him down. Babu is giving him extra Morphine & if that doesn’t work, sub cut Midazalom.

This isn’t an easy journey.

Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.

tomorrow. I’ll wfh at resthome so part of convo. They want to add morphine & add Midazalom now rather than later.

In all this there are some funny moments. Some of the things he says are so muddled and hilarious. So there’s that.

Love remains…

Small Tony🧵 Staff rang at 9.30am bc he’d been looking for me. Confused, in pain.

Day nurse said feels things are changing - moving from dry to wet gangrene, and the dry increasing. Wet should turn to septicaemia which will be a blessing.

Having trouble controlling his pain so the Dr will see him

Sending virtual hugs —- you can do it. I hope the scan proves useful.

Cath S @cathsheard.bsky.social · 1d
