The end-of-life care people have swung into action. We're now equipped with an oxygen pump and a commode. H has been fitted with a pump which administers small doses of drugs every couple of minutes subcutaneously through a needle in her abdomen: currently it's giving her diamorphine and midazolam. We've had visits from two nurses and the GP so far today, and we had a nurse here overnight, provided by the Arthur Rank House "hospice at home" scheme.
This is all a great help. But it's still impossibly hard, for H especially.
