When my grandad was still alive
mum was his primary caregiver although she was working full time.
He had bone cancer and was in a lot of pain in his last year, to the extent that he'd wake up screaming in the middle of the night.

So, mum did what all good children do.

She put weed in his food a couple of times a week - pain reduced and grandad got a good nights sleep.

If, god forbid,
I'm ever in his position, I hope my kids do that for me ....

They won't have to
These days there's not a hospital in the land without a pain management unit.

If a patient is deemed to be terminal, they'll dish out morphine and often diamorphine like it's 12p a bottle Panda Cola.

That's quality care
I hope that I get someone able to do the same for me if I'm in the same position as your grandad.

Yay for your mum!
I hope that my daughter will do the same for me. Or at least smuggle Calvados into my drip!

Have a clicky-thing.

I read too quickly
I thought you said she weed in his food.

I couldn't work out why that would be good for anyone...weeing in their food? But that's just plain nasty!

And why is everyone saying what a good thing to do?

Then I reread....

weed not weed

Ahhh!

Good for your mum
I'd want my kids to do the same... in fact, why doesn't anyone put weed in my food now?

I want weed in my food.

Sometimes...
I feel like putting opiate based painkillers in my old man's food, just to stop him being such a catankerous old git...

(and i'm 36)

Have a click for your mum!
