Sorry to hear your news too Birgitta. We all have to come to terms with our diseases and our limitations. Sometimes I'm more at peace than at other times but there really is no choice, is there?

I came home today just in time to ring an ambulance to send my 86 year old father to hospital with abdo pain and collapse. Turns out the only thing he has wrong is constipation. I could hardly stop laughing about the ridiculousness of it all. Here he is 86 and carrying on like a child from needing a poo for four days!

One Enema later and he is fine....but he won't be when he gets home....I'll make sure he won't forget that in a hurry. All because he takes stupid codeine because his back hurts when he mows the lawn which I want to pay someone else to do but he is too stubborn and insists he WILL do it himself.

I love him but he is frustratingly singleminded. The doctor is keeping him in hospital until Monday to give us a rest...Mum is quite pleased. She is humming a little song and smiling.
