Well after 18 months of relatively good health and no obvious symptoms,in the summer dad started having his first as he called it running to the loo..He has taken to wearing his tenas ,has over the last two months gradually stopped going out for fear of getting caught out,stopped driving as couldent get comfy and admits his self not fully concetrating.Appetite is extremely poor can only eat very small portions and co tinues to get more limited depends what he fancies .He is managing to clean up after himself if gets caught, but is getting weaker and will obviuosly this self care will decline.Lives on his own ,gives us his shopping lists and errands etc My eldest daughter says what will grandad do when hes bed ridden and even if carers are in an out there not going to be there nessacerely when he needs them .Dad was adamant at the beginning he wants to stay at home .He so far has dealt with things as they have come up which I said we will deal as it happens.He has said this week hes ringing his lady to get a bed downstairs ..Sorry for the ramble ,I know you brave lot are all different and there are no quick fixes but just that one person may read this and understand means the world .x
