Ron's mum has been admitted to hospital today with acute renal failure. She had been getting worse and worse over the last year and had just been admitted to a care home as his dad, who is 85, could not cope anymore. I do rather wonder whether her symptoms had been put down to her age(84) and general dementia but it's too late for recriminations. It is possible that she wont last the day out. Being so far away means that he can't easily go to see her even if with the chemo he is allowed to travel. I feel so sorry for his dad having both Ron and Joan in this situation. Ron's sister was nearly killed by a drunk driver 6 years ago. She spent 5 weeks in a coma and is not quite the person she used to be. Some people seem to float through life with no problems while others .........
