Do I Need Time? First surgeon appoint today, surgery in 2 weeks!

And that's totally understandable to be a bit short tempered. That part of it does get better. I can totally relate to wanting to take your dad somewhere and him being reluctant. I have the same thing with my mum,  once she's in the car and we're off she has the best time but it's getting her to that point, so I reckon that could be an age thing - nice, safe and cosy at home! As for your time away check out the Otis Foundation who are a beautiful organisation who have holiday homes that they let BC patients use free of charge, for periods of time, in different states. They are excellent. Xx Cath
