Didge Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 I went to the birthday do on Sat and took some pics for him. It was a nice break. Then on Sunday I returned to the hospice where I have been sleeping on a chair bed in the room. He had a very bad day yesterday completely zonked and unresponsive but is better today. Was supposed to be working today but nurses advised ne against leaving but he has rallied so may make another attempt to leave tomorrow night.

Bowie Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Dear Didge, thinking of you and your Rob, going through this most terrible of diseases. I hope he is comfortable and your Race for Life goes well, you are so strong, take care. Fiona X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didge Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Actually I realise my last post doesn't fully reflect the position as he's had a couple of quite raucous parties in his hospice room this week with friends! (there has been the odd complaint!) Even when not always able to join in the talk, he has enjoyed listening so there's life in the old dog yet. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sueoliver Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Well that made me smile Didge! I can actually imagine it! Lots of love . Sue xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandraW Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Hi Didge. Sue makes me smile too, although we didn't have the parties!!!, the weekend before Trevor died my sister and her husband visited and she said the thing she will always remember, was we were chatting and although Trevor seemed to be sleeping. he would keep putting in his bit if he didn't agree with what we were saying, or thought we had something not right, she said it always makes her smile.Good luck in your race for life Didge, would love to sponsor you if you put up the link, won't be a lot but every little helps. 3 months yesterday since I lost Trevor (don't really like that expression seems as though I put him down somewhere and can't remember where) in one way it seems like years and in another way seems like a couple of weeks, strange thing grief !! love too you both sandrax xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didge Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 I am not sure I am allowed to put up the link because of the rules but if you ask the nurses to give me your email addresses I will gladly send the link, thanks! Just completed it x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathy Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Best of luck Didge with the race.Good for you. Hope Rob is comfortable today (and still partying!).It's still very early days for you Sandra. You are doing so well...Much love Cathy xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marieb Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Hi DidgeJust wanted to to say what an amazing person you are. You have offered me support a number of times whilst you are obviously going through so much. I have no inspirational words of comfort to offer as I am so new to this but I do have recent experience of having my mum in a hospice. It's really hard but I am sure Rob gets a lot of comfort from you being by his side through it all. Well done for completing the a race for Life, especially when you have so much to deal with.Thinking of you both, take care Marie xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didge Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Sadly I have to tell you that my darling Rob slipped peacefully away just after 6pm tonight. Together only two years (and only 2 months before diagnosis), to say I feel cheated of more time with this wonderful character is an understatement! Love and peace (in the words of our much loved Cestrian) to all x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandraW Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Didge, so sorry to hear your news, but so glad it was peaceful, this bloody rotten disease, cutting short your time together.

WilliamS Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 So sorry to hear this.
