It won't be long now.

Dad is going downhill pretty quickly. He's unable to swallow now - so much for us thinking the tumour wasn't growing into his throat!
Susie is in contact with Palliative Care Services in both Leeds and St Andrews to see if there is help they can give him. He'll probably be in Leeds for at least another week and then he's planning to return to Fife. He'll probably be in a hospice when/if he gets back to Fife.
Certainly I think his days of living alone in Crail are over.
It's a sad time.
