A Sad Update

I spoke to the Neurologist earlier this evening, and poor Clutterbug has had a massive intra-cerebella haemorrhage, or stroke. It's a huge bleed...and there's no coming back.

They were very good about talking to me on the phone, and explained everything. They think it's possible that the lymphoma has spread to his brain, but there's so much blood they can't tell what's actually caused this huge bleed.

Sadly, he's not expected to last the night and no heroic measures will be taken...he'll be allowed to slip away. He's been put on the end of life pathway, so he's comfortable, and being looked after. He's being moved to a quiet area where he will be peaceful.

Mr R is coming home first thing, and we'll dash down to Kent. If we're lucky we'll get there on time. If we're not...well, Clutterbug knew I wanted him to come and live near me, so he knew I cared about him, and I spoke to him yesterday on the phone, and we had a little laugh, so those are the things I'll remember.

I may not be around for a while, but you'll know where I am. Thank you for your posts, your pms and your emails, my friends.
