need to decide whether to sign a non resuscitation form in case anything happens,

I'm hesitant to comment on this. This is a very personal decision that you must make but don't let the family 'trouble' at the moment be an influence...although I imagine it could be.

When my Mum was close to passing, Lukemia, the Doctors told us that she was a fighter & that they could resuscitate her if anything happened, but she'd come back worse than what she currently was. We knew she hated how she was & her quality of life, so in the end it was a simple decision. It was hard to make that for a loved one & I just don't know how anyone can make it for themselves.

Get yourself out of the maelstrom, have a long hard think about it, but also consider the options of how you may come out of it after resuscitation.

trouble is if I get resuscitated it's only going to prolong the inevitable. quality of life is not improved. I also need to investigate the life insurance side of it, is refusal of resuscitation a form of suicide?

Good point, although I'm sure it wouldn't be...but, you never know with some of those Insurance companies.

Mate just do what ever you feel is necessary, if you need to sleep then do it, her role is to support you if you're asleep when she calls so be it.

2 of them arrived today it was basically to get to know me and see what needs I have. they are coming back tomorrow when the wife is here.
family war seems to be receding so that is less stress.

My experience with District Nurses was with my father in law 2 years ago when , just like you, two came together at first then one on her own on a regular basis and they were truly excellent. Good luck with them , I'm sure they'll be a positive to you and your family.
