Re: Doing "That" trip
My dad is being very philosophical about it all. He is saying stuff though that is obvious yet worrying.... Reckons he'll have falls in the next year or two... he walks with a frame and/or sticks and gets giddy often. Says that the ambos will get fed up with picking him up and insist he gets shoved off to a nursing home. So not sure what he has in mind with this.... especially as he wanted my brother and I to take him to Switzerland for that voluntary stuff almost 10 years back.
Does anyone know if he can choose to be in a Nursing home in Milton Keynes rather than Rhyl as we have something like 60 family members down there now. He is also the last of his generation and would get heaps of visitors.... IMO.
My Brother wants to try this and I said it to my dad... but he reckons no way would they let him. That made me very very sad indeed.

He sold his house before he moved into this council run "Maes" place....not sure if they would want a contribution from his private pension or capitol......I think "Maes" means care facility in Welsh....

Re: Doing "That" trip
sorry for your loss
my dad just had a stroke and I have just returned from the uk
the best sim I found was 3 if the coverage is ok in your area .
buy 20 pounds credit convert it to the add on 20 and it gives you all you can eat data and loads of phone and text more than you can use really.
yes ask for a transfer to local authority run home in MK contact social services say since death of his wife he has more family up there and won't be so isolated especially with you in Oz should work good luck
