            Starty, this is going to sound very odd. He was waiting to go into a hospice and was terrified, he just didn't want to go. He was due to go in on the Monday and died at home from a suspected heart attack on the Saturday. I was so pleased for him, if that makes any sense.
            The weeks previous he just got thinner and thinner and had special protein drinks from the doctor. I know his morphine was looked after by the MacMillan nurse who came every morning, so he had no pain that I saw.
            It could be worse, I could be filing.

              Not odd at all
              Was he peaceful when he died?

                      oh yes, he'd just popped up stairs to get dressed before having a cup of coffee and me mum heard a thump and called the doctor.

                            No treatment Deebs, just palliative care. Morphine and oxygen. No pain, but weak and breathless....

                                Thanks Hun. I am just going day to day.
                                Doc has given me some diazapam which I think is helping.
                                Anyway, how are you?
