Following his short stay in hospital, father appears to have settled down and back into routine. The District Nurse has been out to check up on him (Tuesday) because the capheter he has fitted keeps giving trouble, getting blocked, but yesterday the doctor dropped by to check him over and said he was OK apart from a little constipation – which he treated.
Mother is better for having had those few days without dad to care for and is looking as well as we’ve seen her for a while now – since she had that break in the summer when she went and stayed with Sue & Godfrey for Simon’s wedding.
Angie & John will be coming up to visit for the weekend so hopefully between us we can give mother a bit of a hand and possibly a short break – Sue has suggested that the women go into the new Westfield centre which opened recently, just so she gets to find her way around without having to worry about dad.
Had a "from the heart" email from Christine in America this week - it's really cutting her up at this time being so far away from the rest of the family. All I can say Chris is that you're better off with your memories of dad as he was rather than seeing him now as he is. It cuts me up so much that I can't bring myself to go down and see them on a daily basis and "cheat" by ringing them to check how they are. It's not the same, I know, but it'll have to do for now.
