Pirate is now in a palliative care assessment bed in a village ten miles from here...much happier as it doesn't feel like hospital.
Hopefully they can rehydrate him and get meds into him....then we will see.
Probably two weeks there.
Once there he had charmed the staff...and he hasn't lost his sense of humour!
A couple of friends who are also cyclists have rallied round to help us both.
Hopefully I can sleep tonight... shouldn't be too difficult as I am tired!!

..tell Pirate, when you lose your sense of humor, you've lost everything!
Stay strong.
You are both doing so well. My heart goes out to you. X
I’m so sorry it’s come to this so quickly
Yes you do need to rest and it’s great you have got help now. Hugs
Good to hear you are not alone in this.
Fingers crossed for you.Tough times.Barbarax
I do hope they can get things sorted for Pirate and that you can get a couple of weeks' good night's sleep. Hugs from NZ
Aw… good move, I hope that will be restorative!
A friend’s father went into hospice last winter, expecting to die—
but the care, comfort, and *fluids* perked him up and he came home again, fine for the foreseeable future!
(though still living with a terminal disease).
Best wishes to your tired old cyclist!
Sounds good all around...pirate being given almost constant care (which you probably are a bit tired of doing) and you're getting a good night's sleep. And hope you can visit him often. I do hope these changes will provide a bit of healing time for him.
I hope he receives excellent care and you get some piece of mind. Take care. - Jenn

Getting this kind of support is very helpful. If Pirate is "happier" here that is all that truly matters. I hope you can rest easy knowing that Pirate is in good hands.
So sad the Pirate has to go through all this. Sad for you, too, gz. I hope you can sleep well.
I am leaving a puddle in the pool. A puddle of flowers and hugs!
I hope you're able to get some rest despite the emotional landscape you're traversing.
Hope Pirate feels a little better soon. Time to get your energy levels back x
I hope you both feel stronger soon.

GZ, respite periods like this are as important for the carer as the cared for. ... If you fancy something different to do with an afternoon, I'll be parked in New Lanark at least until Tuesday, maybe Wednesday.... YAM xx
Thinking of you and Pirate.
After a good night's sleep, I went over there and got to work, getting him to sip his drink....we are getting there!
I feel for you and Pirate, thinking of you both here.
I'm glad he's getting help and in a place where he feels comfortable. Glad his friends have rallied 'round him!
I am glad that you are both having help and support. I couldn't managed without Danny & Emma, tbh. I need to try and get some sense out of Powys Council tomorrow about a care package. Just because we didn't go to the Community hospital, shouldn't mean we are denied help and have to be at the end of a long queue.
I hope that the Pirate improves once he is properly hydrated. I know how difficult it is to take a horse to water and persuade it that it really DOES need to drink!
Hope you get a little respite anyway.
Aww bless you both. Hope he can be made comfortable and you can take comfort from this. x
Hugs and love. Great Pirate is somewhere he can be medically helped. You are amazing.
BB steady decline, much faster than anyone anticipated. It can't be too long now..this is the bit he didn't want...but not eating or drinking brought it on
❤️❤️ sending love
Take care of yourself.
It’s amazing just a bit of careful planning and care can sort out awful symptoms
Palliative care centres are good at that xx
If I can help email me x
Holding you & Pirate in my heart.
((O))
I am so very sorry for your loss. Keeping you and Pirate in my heart.
love.........suzi
Blessings to you both, it's hard to let someone else do the caring, but he will get round the clock care and there will be time for you to get some sleep xxx Betty
