I was in the same situation Lizzie. I went to the GP and they signed me off for 6 weeks.

It's a lot to do when busy at work, isn't it?
Yesterday 1 hour to get PoA docs canned and into PDF format for online submission (Scotland). £85. Fear it may be rejected and will then need to pay solicitor to do it properly.
Another long phone call with sis who got update from multi discipline team at hospital. PET scan inconclusive so now want to rule out infections with big dose antibiotics, then follow up in a few weeks with further CT scans of the lumps. Confirmed that mum is too frail for biopsy, surgery, chemo or even radio therapy. So it will be symptoms treated only. Which counts as palliative. Which felt a bit final to me.
Ah well, she's mostly comfortable. At her best, she's quite perky. Social work will move more quickly with home care now if it's palliative which is good. I think. Strange times.  G

On POAs had a letter from the office of public guardian end of last week containing three office copies of Mrs TR's POA and a covering letter saying it was now registered, apologising for the delay and explaining that they'd lost the original but were continuing to look for it.
This may be because they sent the original to us in March with a covering letter saying that it had now been registered 🙄
Must write back to them to say no need to continue looking...

Lizzie - if you make it clear that you want to be present at ward round they should be able to facilitate it or arrange a meeting with you.
Happy - palliative care can last for years so I’m hoping that you have time with your mum yet if she’s comfortable and happy.
FiL still holding on. MiL thinks he’s going to last until we get home (15th). For his sake I hope not.

And this morning I - as her attorney - have received two notifications of Mrs TR's POA being registered. One dated 1st March and the other 26th September (in both cases her health and welfare POA) !
