License to drive, without a car....

Its been a while (again), and there's good news, and not so good news.

The good news is that Dad has had a driving test so he can drive an automatic transmittion car, with a steering ball/knob on the wheel (so he can steer one handed). He passed this test last week with flying colours so is now allowed to drive an automatic car, but with a catch. There needs to be this ball on the steering wheel, AND all the switches (lights, blinker, washers etc) need to be on the left side of the steering column....which basically means a modified car is needed. That should be paid for by TAC, but that will take time.

The not so good news is that I am feeling rather helpless here in Europe knowing things are not going so great back home. Dad was meant to have had an appointment with all the doctors about two weeks ago, and that time passed without going ahead. Unfortunately the doctors office didnt ring Dad to make a time, and Dad didnt ring to find out what was happening. I am really hoping that he's not being forgotten, and that all his mates are rallying to keep his spirits up.

New toys

Just a quick update...Dad has received some new toys for around the house. For example a special board where you can slice bread, and butter (or other spread) bread with one hand and the bread doesn't slip away.

A few appointments coming up in the next week or so. So hopefully there'll be some good news to follow.
