Dad is at Susie and John's house

Susie went to visit Dad last weekend and found him in a poorly state. She has taken him back down to Leeds with her to help him for a while.
He keeps claiming that 'he's fine' but in reality, he's struggling. The tumour must be growing as he's finding it hard to swallow and is breathing in most of his food. He's getting weaker and weaker.

When he returns to Fife, he'll probably be using a Hospice. Perhaps not full time, but certainly as a day visitor. Susie is talking to the Macmillan nurses to arrange it this week.
He's also been talking about wanting to move into supported accomodation. Not sure if that will happen given the timescales we're working with, but it's worth a try!

Mum is still soldiering on, although declining quickly. We've got the bill for her care in today, so trying to find a way to pay for it. I'm so glad she's being well looked after where she is.

She'd welcome a visit, even if she tires quickly.

Send a hug.
