I've mentioned a couple of times recently having some "real life" problems, but I haven't really wanted to talk about it much here while I was still processing everything.
My Dad has been diagnosed with lung cancer and does not have much longer to live. My Mum also has a fair few health problems and our current plan is for her to move back to Melbourne and share a house with me so I can provide more assistance. I feel a bit like I'm in the eye of a hurricane at the moment, everything seems perfectly normal right now but I'm constantly on edge waiting for that to change.
It feels like I should be doing something but there's not really anything to do at the moment, so I'm researching and making plans for every likely future possibility I can think of. Which probably means something completely unexpected will happen instead.
Iโm also sorry to read what youโve been going through. ๐ค
