I'm glad to see that I didn't blog here on Saturday night - I would have been wrecked :-) We managed to end up after my Installation in the bar for 7 (yes) 7 hours.... Considering I'd already had a few pints of beer, some wine and some port the following 7 hours of beer and whisky and no food may have contributed to the rather thick head I had on Sunday.
My Installation meeting was great - I really enjoyed it once I got past the bit I had to remember myself. Having next to no sleep on the Friday night with my mind racing didn't help either.
I've spoken to my brother and sort of heard his side of the story out and now I'm just going to leave him to do his thing - I see what he is thinking and he is doing the calls and stuff. I've offered whatever I can at this end. Mainly, I'm going to be the one who will end up doing all the calls and arrangements as I'm sure that they wont be able to. Anyway - let's see what happens with that when and if it happens. As for Dad, well he wasn't good yesterday and they gave him some pain killers which sent him off to sleep which is probably good but we will just have to see where it goes this week. The trouble is that no one is taking a whole life view for us - each specialist is doing there bit and no one is talking to the other person. This is the trouble with the way things can be. No one is looking at his cancer (I know they can't do anything) but they are treating the symptoms and maybe they ought to be thinking things through slightly differently - anyway, I kind of hope he isn't there for much longer. There is a possibility that we can get dad moved to a home that is local to mum - if that is the case then maybe things might get a bit better.
