A multitude of other pills for nausea, constipation, antibiotics etc. etc. have to be taken - he'll be rattling! The good new is that although the steroids have heightened his appetite for lollies and sweet things, he hasn't actually put on any weight (yet) probably because of all the walking we are doing. We will continue to do this everyday as long as he is able.
Ålan is in good spirits but gets frustrated at times because of the loss of vision, however, we will be working with Vision Australia to make sure we explore every avenue to try and improve whatever sight he has.
Meanwhile, we are still enjoying the city life and the plethora of restaurants it has to offer. (As most of our friends know, we really enjoy good food and wine). We have always tried to do a lot of things together over the years - golfing, fishing, decorating and walking and now he is starting to take an interest in the actual cooking of food and not just the eating so will continue to do things together, they'll just be different! Hope I can cope with him in the kitchen!! Jill says she'll buy him some talking scales for Fathers Day (lol)
Once again, thank you for caring. Love from us both. X

ReplyDeleteHi Alan and Helen, I was just in Sydney in the weekend to watch the Bledisloe cup match and was recalling the time Alan took us to watch Aussie beat us in the final minute. Great memories! Best wishes from the Kiwi's, we are all thinking of you mate! Best regards Rowan
