HI  its been a little while so here is just a post to bring up all up to date on how dad is doing with M.N.D

so since the last post  a few things have changed
1, Dad has giving up driving as it is too tiring and hard to move his leg in and out of the car, so his Jeep has been sold and he now has to put up with me and mum driving his around

2. he finally got a walker to help him get around, his one is black and has the small bag to carry Rory's lead and treats in

3.Diet wise Dad is almost completely on liquid diet, He'll eat the odd burger when he feels like it other wise its chocolate milk and prescribed drinks all the way he is currently weighing in about around 77kg which on his 6ft frame makes him look really really skinny on his arms legs and collar bone areas

4. he is also having more issues with talking and being understood so has been given a talking typewriter to use, he just needs to use it more

5. he goes to monthly support meeting which he seems to like, this meeting are for both carers and familys and are a great source of info on how to deal with the Govt. on funding etc. , and we always have a great laugh at the stories of some of the others

6. Mum and Dad have got to 48 years married( he hasn't changed that much)





so that's really all for now,
Its just going to be 1 day at time  and tackle each problem as it comes
