Oh dear!

So, I am fat and growing. Not quite back to where I started but working towards it. My life has been turned upside down.
After two years of battling with social services to get a care package for my father, I finally won. It was due to start on June 9th. On 3rd June dad was rushed into hospital with pneumonia. On the 4th I was told to go to over. We dropped everything in the lap of a good friend and caught the 1.25am train from Calais. By 2am we were in England but the hospital said to leave visiting until later as dad was sleeping comfortably. We arrived at the hospital on Friday 5th and one look told me it was the end. I stayed with him most of that day. I met the consultant and agreed no heroics. We had to return home on the night ferry as we had people arriving in our Gite on Saturday. We had just arrived home when the call came tomsay he died on the Saturday. So ends 30 years of looking after him and fighting his battles. It took three weeks to sort out the funeral. It was very quiet, just six of us and my son in law took the service. His ashes are still with the funeral place waiting for us to go back and scatter them on Blackheath according to his wishes. His death opened a can of worms I have now managed to close again and through it all I have eaten!
Life is peaceful now I no longer have to worry about him. I can settle here now too as I no longer have to return to the UK every six weeks.
So now I have to grab the controls again. I am disgusted to have gained weight yet again. For the moment I have to go gently so will aim to fast once this week, possibly Thursday as I used to. If I cannot I will not beat myself up. I will try to join in with you all again too. This is for me!

In for repair Monday, Wednesday and Friday
