Well today dawned and I had a small lie in as I was pretty tired. I have to say that it was a pretty traumatic week and more so because I needed to do quite a lot to make sure that my mum was prepared to make a key decision and that dad understood why that decision had been made. It is very hard when your head tells you one thing and your heart tells you something different.
The "end" is in no doubt but at present it is the side effects of his cancer that have proved problematic. The triple bypass he had I guess is helping the situation now but dad is frail and isn't exactly going to get any better, in fact, the infection in his Liver and this Diabetes episode are making things pretty much evident that there will be no easy end to this. Dad continues to deteriorate and just get weaker and less able to help himself. This isn't the cancer directly though and that is yet to kick in (so they say).
Anyway, more will happen this week and I hope that we can get him a nice home, near mum, nicer surroundings and that he will have some peace and quiet.
I'm back to bathroom planning and additionally to looking at doing some paid work soon too - I got a call last week and there may be the opportunity of earning a few bob on a contract.
