Hi Emma, Thankyou for your reply, and I am too sorry that you have lost your Mum. It sounds like you did have a good relationship and have some nice memories to keep forever. I appreciate the few things you said about the physical changes and the pain increasing. Since I joined this group, Mums pain has moved and the palliative nurse thinks that its now in her bones, but I dont think Mum wants to get a scan etc to confirm it as she hates going for tests. I havent seen Mum for a few weeks and even she herself says that shes getting weaker some days and resting more, although she managed to have a short walk along the beach the other day. I dont mind hearing about different things that happen as the time will go on, because I like to be prepared, I am a bit of a control freak and its not helping that I have no control over this. I guess I am too wondering how long she may be bedridden for and also if morphene means the beginning of the end. Atm she is on oxycondone but she sees another palliative dr on Thursday and seems to think that he may change her meds again, but dont know what comes after it. ... View more
