Where have the last 2 weeks gone, people around you just returning to normal,almost expecting you to do the same, but I cant the dont they realise my life has changed forever. The last 2 weeks have at times seem to have flown by and at others dragged. All I know is I miss my dad.I cant put on this brave smiley face and be nice to customers that moan that there car is taking a little longer than they thought it would. I want to scream at them. I just want to be me and if I am feeling sad be able to show...
I have just came back from the hospital from seeing dad and his consultant, dad is still the same, I knew when the consultant came to find me it was bad news. Dad is in the final stages now, I now have the hard job of going to tell mum as she is still at home I am just waiting for her brother to take me over to her. My grandma has now taken ill as well she has diabetes and has been having hypos for the past week so when I phoned to tell her dad was in hospital she told me that she had had another...
Well we wait for Thursday to see if the cancer has spread and to see if my dad should stay on the tablets or not. I think not but should I tell him that? His health had deteriorated so much with the weight loss, sickness, hair loss and lack of energy but he is terrified of being off them. He even rag the hospital on Thursday to see if he should carry on bless him. Do I tell him what I think and give him an alternative opinion or do I just let him do whatever he thinks is right even if that means...

Well I was in a fowl mood all day yesterday!! Dont know why but I just was. Took the kids to town to buy a pumpkin and some last minute things for Halloween and they were like little devils!!! I was pulling my hair out. When I was first diagnosed 2 years ago I told myself I would let nothing bother me, I wont get stressed blah blah....and that sooooo didnt happen. Thinks still P me off as much as they always have and I still find it very hard to cope sometimes.
So by the time I got home my head...
Yesterday mum called me and asked me to come over and see dad as he was not right, I went over and when I got there he was like in a catatonic state, I dont even know if he knew I was there. I called the out of hours service and managed to talk to his own GP who passed the information on to the GP who was going to come out and see him. He could not walk to the toilet his legs kept giving out from beneath him. I told the GP when he came that I needed him to go into hospital or the hospice as he needed...

Today I got some more diy done. Finished the edging round the living room, still have to paper a wall, hopefully do that tomorrow. We're waiting for new sofas to come so want to have the room ready. I also put the strip down to join the floors from the hallway into the living room. What I thought was a five minute job turned into 2 and a half hours! Sam had put a temporary bit of wood down when he laid the floors 4 years ago and I thought i just had to take that up and put the proper thing in...
