thoughts are with you and your wife, CP.
for all the trouble they've caused people through their abuse ime, opiates frequently don't seem to cut the mustard when people are really suffering.

tbf I think it was the valium that fucked her up more than the morphine.
of course now she's just on a different benzo but she's more lucid over the last couple of days. she still mixes up words and has double vision (although that's a side effect of pregabalin) but she can remember what we talked about 5 minutes ago
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 1 February 2020 00:24 (four years ago) link
oh yes, of course. benzodiazepines can be very harsh also.

we'd also had a wheelchair on loan from the Red Cross, which we were supposed to give back in October. but tbh when you don't know how much time you have left, and they didn't contact us about it, we just didn't bother bringing it back. then a couple of weeks ago they rang us up saying where's the wheelchair and btw we now charge £15 a week for it, since November. I was prepared to have an argument because I was expecting them to try and charge me 3 months at £15 a week despite not bothering to tell us they were going to do this until now, but tbh they were ok about it when I took it back and I ended up giving them more money than they asked for.
but still though. £15 a week? I just bought a fucking wheelchair off Amazon last week for £100 to replace it (the NHS waiting list is apparently several weeks, do we even have several weeks) that looks basically the same as the one we had, except a bit lighter cos it's got an aluminium frame, that's 6 weeks at their rate. wtf. OK watch this one fall apart the first time we use it.

Just can't imagine making a phone call to say there is a £15 charge for a wheelchair.
Love to you both.

so sorry to read this CP, love to you both and stay strong :(

Wait til you see how much people charge to repair them...
Sorry CP. Have been thinking of you both, if that's not too weird. Cancer and its various forms seem to be prominent in families I know right now. Some good stories, some less so.
― kinder, Saturday, 1 February 2020 13:51 (four years ago) link
Much love, CP.
This is based on a survey of one, but considering what you're saying, I'd enjoy as much as possible your time while she's lucid now.

Best to you and your wife. Strength.

My wife passed away on Sunday. I don't have much to say at the moment but I knew I would need to tell people at some point and I am trying to get things done, partly to keep myself busy I think so the grief doesn't completely overwhelm me.

I’m so very sorry. You did your utmost, and I hope that stays with you as the shock eases. Life is hard to make sense of but to be loved like that is the best anyone could hope for.
