Two in the morning, and mum is experiencing severe bouts of coughing,
making it difficult for her to fall asleep. Just before bed, she threw
up, two, three times. Everything I cooked, everything she ate thinking
it'll give her a boost of nutrients and restore her energy level, came
pouring out of her mouth. It was a sorry and painful sight to bear...
Already the fifth night that she has been unable to sleep well, and
when she does sleep, it's only for a few hours. As I sleep right on the
floor next to her bed, I can hear if she's stirring or still awake (
though admittedly, I've been so exhausted I fall sleep through...).
Is it because of her cold, or is it something more fundamental related
to her cancer? Throwing up is one of the symptoms of cancer spreading.
That and constant fatigue, which she also has, even though she is unable
to fall asleep for long. She tells me every time she coughs, her
surgical wounds hurt terribly. So not just the coughing but also her
pains are keeping her awake. Painkillers are not working... Or is it
because she's not taking them?
Never before, as far as I know, has she used sleep inducers. and today
she requested it to be given to her so she can take it before sleep.
But so far, there has been little effect...
