I’ve woken in considerably more pain than I went to bed but was greeted by the rider I was with turning up With flowers and chocolates as he said he felt bad about Sunday but I was like don't be daft I just need to be better and we will
Ride again when im fixed.

God mum jules has showed up with my
Guitars as well so hopefully that will take my mind off the pain x
 
Took my car for a service, new MOT and air-con re-gas today.

I used a local garage/mot station recommended by a bloke I bought a computer chair off recently. It's only 2 miles away, so very convenient.

They changed the pollen and air filters too.

Apparently, it had a tiny amount of gas in the air-con - it requires 810gm of refrigerant gas and had 30gm left in it. Anyway, they vacuum checked it and confirmed no leaks, so it got topped up.

Total bill £454.
 
Yesterday Paul and I went to help his Mom take his Dad(he'll be 80 in May) to a followup doctor appointment. He has chronic lymphadema in his lower legs and developed cellulitis. We took him to Urgent Care 2 weeks ago then to a followup for that last week.
Backing up further, he had always been a healthy active guy then COPD popped up about 10 years ago(he was never a smoker and worked as a cytopathologist in medical facilities his whole working career). Then about 4 years ago he was also finally, correctly, diagnosed with Parkinson's. His health has declined significantly the past 2 years. Now he struggles cognitively and physically. It's hard to know how much the diseases or medications are causing problems. He was able to get around without help in November and can barely walk now. Paul and I get him in and out of the house and car using a wheelchair to go to appointments. His Mom is exhausted and overwhelmed with how quickly things have changed and all the work involved in caring for him.
Luckily they ended up with a new internist from the first follow up visit. He is much more proactive in trying to figure out what he needs and signed off on getting home health care services rolling right away. The first evaluator showed up at their home 3 days later and he starts physical therapy today. Thank goodness for that!
Meanwhile they have to think about their living situation long term and decide what to do.
Good times.

It's hard seeing parents deteriorate - best wishes that the physiotherapy boosts his mobility.

Have any of his doctors asked about his diet?

I don't know. Until these past few weeks Paul and I only heard tidbits about his treatments. Now that we are more involved and going to appointments we have been asking questions. I will keep that in mind.
He will be scheduling to see his Parkinson's/neurologist dr. soon and next month is his pulmonary dr. appt.. Next internist follow up is 3 months.
One of the first big changes the internist made last week was stopping Dupixent injections for his COPD. He was experiencing so many side effects from it the internist flat out said let's stop it. Especially after reading long term effects of some of those side effects-even after stopping it.
