What on earth happend to my holistic care of Peter? He set off alone to have an echocardiogram while I had a day off and a girly lunch hit The Hut for pizza ( felt a bit guilty eating what he cannot )
Peter returned saying all went well but his feet hurt, I really didn't take much notice I concentrate on the other end i.e can he swallow, is his weight stable.is his colour good is he moisturizing.
