Thx, tbh I just wish that 'him upstairs' would just take her.....I got there as they were changing her dressings and was totally horrified by what I saw. The awful thing is that she's 84 and really ill and wants to die but the hospital just keeps her barely alive.....she's got more people on the other side now than here. She knew who I was ......but only just
I never really thought too much about euthanasia before because both my parents died quite suddenly, but, well, you wouldn't keep an animal suffering like that cos the RSPCA would be up in arms but an old lady can literally rot in her bed.

It's sad to hear your Aunt is having a hard death. It must be sad for all the family to see her suffer so. Hopefully she will be at peace soon.

No not at all Tan ... In Reiki we use various symbols when we do distance work. Happy Trails is just one which we use to help people who are in transition between this life and the next and there's a set way of using it. I'd post the full explanation but I don't have the memory stick it's on with me. xx

If it's okay with you Sandra, may I do some distant energy work for your aunt?
I have a 'Happy Trails' technique for just this sort of situation. But feel free to tell me to mind my own business
Oh Jan anything that can make these next few days, I hope it's only days, a bit more comfortable would be hugely appreciated. The problem is that she is seriously diabetic, has cellulitis (her skin all over her body has completely broken down and won't heal) enormous ulcers all over, and she has had kidney failure about 4 times over the past few years. The hospital won't let her drink more than a couple of sips and she's dreadfully thirsty all the time and her skin is raw and the dressing have to be changed constantly so she gets no respite and no rest. It's just unbearable cos we can't do anything, she's my mums only surviving sibling and the last person that we've got with a connection to mum....
On a happier note, when I came back from Bermuda I lived with her for a few months whilst the flat that I'd bought was being gutted......she used to make us home-made chips at about 10 o'clock at night when we felt a bit peckish and they were the best chips ever! Never had them again since cos I've never had a deep fat fryer thingy.....she was diabetic even then but totally addicted to chocolate....shed have fitted in well on here!
God bless Aunty Rose x

Today's food
B porridge, actimel
L a BLT made with wm bread, 3 rashers of back bacon, lettuce and tomato and a smear (ok a dollop) of mayo!
S kitkat
D going round to my sister's for a chinese, I have no idea how many calories but I have about 800 left cos I 'earned' 400 at the gym this morning. Have put a bottle of SB in the fridge to take with me, only had one solitary glass in the past 2 weeks, though no idea why, and really fancy a few glasses!
I will clearly be well over my target for today but most days I have been a bit under, I've also done 7 consecquetive days of exercise this week. Haven't weighed myself for a couple of days cos Paul brought me coffee in bed and I drank it before getting up to go to the loo etc.....

Chinese was fab, no idea a how many calories and don't care. Shared a bottle of SB with my sister, she pointed all her supper cos she's lost just over a stone now on ww so she's very happy! Was a lb up this morning but no doubt it'll have gone by Wednesday.....
I have drunk at 6 in the morning before on girlie weekends away....not a good idea being pissed at breakfast

It's ok if you're still pissed from the night before or still out on the night before
Today's food
B porridge, actimel
L avocado and prawns, a whole avocado cos it was lovely and ripe and Paul didn't want any, and a tub of M&S reduced fat prawn cocktail. It was lovely too, a bit heavy on the fat and calories though:sigh:
D homemade pea and ham soup, 2 slices of hot x loaf with elf spread. 4 squares of milk chocolate....that's it now, all gone!
hot choc later
Edit total 1511 so 311 above the target that I've set myself of 1200 calories a day. Apparently if I ate like this every day I would still lose 2lbs in 5 weeks.......but I'd be sick and I feel really full and uncomfortable.
That comes to about 1000calories already so only have a couple of hundred left cos I have had a day off from exercising today apart from a bit of gardening. The rest of the choccie bar is winking at me, Paul's had anOther slab but I passed.......for now!
