It took longer that expected - having left the hospice at 8.15 am we didn't get back until 10.30. Bearing in mind the distance between the hospice and hospital is at most a 10 minute journey there was a lot of sitting around in her wheelchair.

All this effort so early seemed to wear Jane out and she wasn't feeling very good for the rest of the day. She did have a very relaxing massage in the afternoon. We had a discussion with the palliative care doctor at the end of the afternoon and it seems there is a point in having the lung drained to improve Jane's quality of life.

To all those who have been contacting her via email or WhatsApp please be assured she is reading them but she can get overwhelmed by all the love and affection coming her way and is struggling to reply to them especially as her left hand is swollen so it is difficult to hold her phone and touch the keypad. Please don't expect a reply but thank you for your continued kind thoughts and support.

Tomorrow is another day.
