About chattychicken

Hello, I have a beautiful father on the other side of the pond, in Australia, with Alzheimer's and now has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer! He has been given weeks to live. I am scared of seeing him. What he will be like. Thankfully the Alzheimer's means he just thinks it is an ulcer. He has had his dentures taken out as it has caused a mouth ulcer. He is still chatty but is deteriorating. Some pain, but morphine controls it. I don't know how long he's got. I play the piano and sing and write poetry. Love colouring in for adults. My husband died from dementia 4 years ago and I have just lost mum in April from COPD. I have a cat who is very loving.
