You remember I mentioned my Nanna had a fall last week, well today we were told sheonly has 24 hours to live, I am so upset, have been crying on and off when I think about it, she has a chest infection now and was told today that she will drown in her own fluids, I can't believe they said that, we don't need to know and even worse Nanna heard! She is sleeping a lot at the moment and isn't able to talk anymore.

My Nanna has always been a huge part of my life, she always rang when I was in Scotland and always said that I was the only one that ever understood her. I don't know whether this is true but I always had a lot of patience with her and made her feel as if everything she was feeling was important. I am going to miss her so much but she has no quality of life now that it is almost cruel that she is ending her life unhappy.

Sorry to depress anyone, just wanted to spill!

Nice memory of Nanna - she always called me Manda and she had been out to aposh hotel and had a baguette (new to her!) and said "Ooh Manda I had one of those lovely bagwets!" :rotfl: brilliant! We all call them bagwets now aswell!!

I know, I love being able to cuddle Thomas it takes some of the pain away. We have been lucky that Thomas got to have some cuddles with her, and everytime I spoke about him or she saw him, even if she was in pain and miserable her face always lit up!
 
Oh no hun, can't believe it, and to say such a thing where your nanna could hear....as for not changing her bandage that is awful, she should be allowed to live with dignity regardless of whether the nurses feel there is 'a point!'.

That doesn't take away the pain you are feeling, have pm'd you but wanted to leave my best wishes here for you too babe :hug: :hug: :hug:
