A bit more drawing tonight. Helps me to wind down and relax. FIL is fretting about how quick his CT scan of his bowels has come through. It's on Tuesday. However the Dr did say it would be within 2 weeks. The letter explained that the day before he has to have a strict diet. Basically dry toast and an egg for breakfast then nothing else all day except clear soup or jelly. Tea with no milk and water. At 88 he takes a while to understand new instructions so we've been over it a few times. He's just fretting as well as they're eliminating cancer of the bowel. He had traces of blood in his pooh on his last check and he's lost a bit of weight. I'll be with him going to the hospital so he won't be on his own. He always asks me to be with him for any medical things. Hubby doesn't have a lot of patience in any kind of waiting area and his stress then passes to dad. After doing most things like this for both my parents and 1 aunt, 1 uncle and 1 partner to aunt I'm kind of used to it all now. I wish I had the experience I have now when mum was first poorly ....I'd have handled it better but as she was the first .....it was difficult to know what to do. But hindsight is wonderful and I've learnt to forgive myself for what I didn't know 9 years ago. I've rambled on a bit sorry. Anyway....I've hopefully put his mind to rest and hopefully all will be well. If it's not then we will deal with the results together as a family. 🙏❤️🍀
