Thanks @PeppiPatty i think all carers are special and includes you and @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Appleblossom and all the carers im sure to meet here

I think my pops getting dimentia and it breaks my heart as i dont know if i can handle it when he gets alot worse 😞

[Appleblossom]

Keep talking to staff involved in his health care and you should get a bit of guidance.  You should not have to handle it all alone.  There are levels of extra support in the community.

It is hard though. I have a friend who is slowly getting worse with dementia.  I probably err on the optimistic side and her daughter on the pessimistic side.  They also go up & down in functioning.

I loved your farm hand pics, makes me think of when I was 14-15.

I take pop to the hospital soon. Hopefully hes ok

[outlander]

Pops first result came back for his lungs. It turns out the lump is just scar tissue from having pneumonia a while back.
He had his test for the lump on his pancreas done yesterday but they are also checking kidneys and surrounds incase one of those are the cause.
Monday he sees his gp for these results
