Som - have you looked at the Elderly parents thread ( fetcheveryone.com/forum/elderly-parents-or-relatives-to-care-for-and-or-worry-about-this-is-the-place-for-you-59879/1655 ). Good support - both with advice and as a place to sound off

(((Som))) It’s very hard and unfair. You lose them twice Not much makes it easier but I hope you can have some nice moments with him amongst the difficulty

Morning :)

Good to hear you had your foot investigated CK2, heal strong.

Hugs for Som and anyone else in need. ((()))

Word from Australia this morning is that my brother has now had his op, which was a success, and is all tubed and wired up in ICU.

Morning.
That's good news AL!
Hugs to Som, I hope your dad is getting all the help available - the knowledge and experience of the folks on the Elderly parents thread is worth tapping.

Hugs to everyone.

Just spoken to Oz, they've just visited him and despite all the opiates etc, he feels better already and the surgeon etc are all amazed at how well he has bounced back already. That tells you how important it is to try and stay fit.

Right, time to get dressed and go skiing. :)

Good news AR. That’s a relief for you.
Another vote for the elderly person’s thread which I’ve found very supportive.
Enjoy Nana duties Mandy.
