Hi folks, apologies for so long no blog waffle but on Jan 6th Dad was diagnosed as having very advanced prostate cancer and since then he has been back and forth to hospital like a pin pong ball having x-rays, CT scans, test etc all of which just showed how advanced it was. Up until then he had no signs and was originally diagnosed with something more curable. Sadly the news is not good, but ... there is still some hope that with the treatment he is getting he may be with us a while longer.
He went into a hospice last Tuesday, which is a really lovely, peaceful, yet also happy place (strange as that may seem) and the staff are just brilliant as is his Doctor. He is getting very much pampered and well looked after and we are hoping that he will be home by the weekend, but first the Occupational Therapist is coming out here on Tuesday to do a home assessment so that any aids he needs can be put in place to make life at home easier for him.
Meanwhile, I am caring for his two gorgeous and fun miniature dacshunds (both rescues) who my collie Ffin gets on really well with and generally looking after the house and answering phones, tidying up ready for his homecoming etc, etc. Soooo .... I've been kind of busy, hence no Dafad footprints across the blog.
Haven't quite worked out how to get phots up on the blog as this is a strange computer unlike mine at home (where it is snowing lots) but will try and get my head around that prob soon. It also snowed here about 10 inches last night so we woke yo a whit fenland world this morning. The dogs raced around like loonies having lots of fun, I lit big log fire and watched the rugby. Wales 23 ... Ireland 21 ... so that was me happy for the rest of the day!!
Anyways ... will make sure I make time to keep things going on this here waffle spot.
Thanks to all those who keep checking to see if I am still wandering about ... I am and as time allows have fen thing to share with you all. Hey we even have lots of windmills here!
Wherever you are in warm places or snow scapes ... take care.
Yo Dafad! Good to hear you, not so good to hear the news of your Dad. Send him my regards. Hard to believe you've got more snow down there in the south than we have in the north, are dachsunds any good as huskies?? Shep
ReplyDeleteSee, you can't bag all the ex-moosey white stuff! It's been fun to see snowmen & a snow rabbit ... (yes you read that right) here in the village. Mini hounds as huskies, now that would be an odd sight.
ReplyDeleteBut the two had cold bellies being so low to the snow!
