Hi,
How is the temperature doing? Do YOU know why or is it the obvious body fighting an infection. With the other fun things he has on the go perhaps a call for Mr. Woodie just for reassurance might not go amiss.
At the risk of voyeurism I wonder if explanation of how old the kids are and how they are coping might not prove of huge value to others who follow on this road - at the end of the day they maintain your equillibrium whilst no doubt driving you to distraction
but how are they dealing with their Dad's current illness and are they taking it out on you or tip toeing in your presence :-/
Is their attitude head in the sand or supportive, frightened or challenged into research.
How much is Mr. Woodie communicating his fears and frustrations to you and the kids? Was he a smoker or do you attribute this more to alcohol or wood glues OR WHAT. Has there been any family prewdiliction on his side of the family?
Sorry I'll shut up on this if you like but I just feel that with all the computers around these days we should be doing one hell of a lot more number crunching to understand disease, illness, problems etc.
All too often we know nothing abouit ourselves but can give the running yardage of 100 players no problem [sorry not my sport
]
I remember taking down Pete Gore (same family as Al) in a 'Rugby' game many years ago at school - his comment was you Brits must be mad to play this without body armour it is much harder than Football! I played a lot of hard sports but couldn't be bothered to watch anyone else play - I've never understood watching sport or pornography! If you enjoy watching get out there and play or buy a mirror
As for excercise nowadays if you need it it might be dangerous :
How's your head doing it must bee on overload by now - kind of one of those questions like pulling up the flowers to see if the roots are growing :-[ The kids must be a great help for both of you - even if they are moving you into a padded cell with no windows - as CEO of YOUR hospital just put it down to 'security'
I hope the temperature holds but can't think why it might
Good luck and a big hug for ALL the family,
Regards,
Greg & Lee
