Days 83-89: Assessment

Apparently dad needs to be assessed for care i.e. see if he'll have to cough up any money for the help he's getting from the council. Our care provider isn't sure if this is retroactive. The physio though says definitely not (phew!). I trust her knowledge on this.

On the positive front, dad now does leg exercises on the front balcony every evening. He's also been out for dim sum with my brother's family. And he has the energy to berate me for not getting a Carl Zeiss lens with my new Sony dSLR (he must be kidding!)

Not so good though is the lapse now and then into the 'nobody understands me' depression. Well, it's true - how can any of us actually know what he's going through?
