My grandad is 93, currently in the Cottage Hospital following a fall... His 'assesment' is coming up so my sister and I have been discussing the implications of this..

He is 'all there',without a doubt (does his Guardian crossword each day) and loves The Simpsons laugh lol, recieved a Christmas card written in, as usual, beautiful Calligraphy.He has no 'personal care' needs. He deffo not ready for Nursing Care, even Residential Care, I would not think....

Maybe 'Extra Care Supported Living' or provision of Living Aids and 'Meals on Wheels' etc (me Grandad describes Meals on Wheels as 'seen more meat in a mouse-trap)'lol

It's quite extraordinary: one of the soaps is running a right to die thread and another is running a breast cancer thread. This thread was recently started and today I was diagnosed with lung cancer!

Really upset to hear that news Chris. Knowing you as I do, you crusty old fart, you'll be quite sanguine about it. Sh*t ! - stuck for words now. Take care.

Well I am sure you are aware that it just doesn't happen like that. You make your own choice, nobody does it for you.

I am so very sorry Chris, no suitable words. Let the shock work through and then take each day. Treatment has much improved, please keep positive and you don't need your own medication yet.
Thinking of you!

Sad to hear that Chris. Fight the good fight me old mucker, I get the feeling sometimes that I'm just shuffling along the queue. At least these days you stand a better chance than of old. I doff my lid to you, good luck.
