Netflix and an iPad. Both are very medicinal. They've helped me get through the slow times.

Glad your father is recovering well from surgery. I well understand how a sip of water is significant. It's something we take for granted until we lose it.

You are giving your father great support which will make the next few months much more bearable.

Best wishes!
