The news from back home with my grandfather is one step forward, one step backward. Last Thursday I think was the bad day, when I finally actually heard what the situation was - before that I was more head in sand about it than anything else.
Then on Saturday it was good again, my grandfather was home and on the phone - surprised my mother as she thought he would still be in hospital - and sounding bright, alert and all that. Another downer on Monday, when it was confirmed he has lung cancer.
Biopsy done on Wednesday after the docs got their heads together on Tuesday, and now to wait a couple of weeks before those results come back. Just in time for my parents to be there, hmm - and he is apparently sounding very vague and all, has some dementia as well apparently.
Spoke to the boss, who said if I need to take time off to see him, if it gets to that severity of thing, then to book the flights and take the time off, she has already given verbal approval. My mother has said not to go over in a rush or anything, otherwise it may give the appearance of birds circling around - yes, I know what type of birds I mean, but I didn't want type that species up in regards to a family member.
It's a day to day situation really. Hopefully things improve, fingers crossed.
