"A chance to relax and recharge my batteries"

Not always easy to get GP appointment especially with your own GP.

At present my husband (with terminal cancer) will not attend the services our hospice offer. But I know I can contact them at any time.

As well as cancer (mesothelioma) my husband has both a urostomy bag and a colostomy bag with a very large hernia on colostomy. Frequently the prescription for his needs is incorrect when it arrives, despite several phone calls about this problem, which makes a bad situation much worse. He can do very little now so obviously frustrating for him, especially as my own health is not good.

Thats why I find a day once a month at Oakhaven a chance to relax and recharge my batteries. I need to stay fit and well to care for him. We thought  that our lovely district nurses would come to see us but apparently not, despite asking a doctor for another referral, we were told at his final radiotherapy he can have no more.

My husband enjoys cooking so has taken over doing that. He sleeps a lot of the time in his comfy recliner chair.
