One week from today, my Dad will go into hospital and on the 25th he'll have surgery to remove the cancer in his colon. He'll probably be in hospital for at least a couple of weeks, so my Mum will have regular hospital visits during November.
Here in Spain, I'll also have a hospital appointment in November: I'm going on the fourteenth to the hospital in Torremolinos to see a foot specialist about the arthritis in my feet. They'll be assessing whether I need to have special shoes or insoles in order to be able to walk with less pain.
My brother, who had an operation on his wrist some months ago, has now been told that he can start work again. He's turned down the offer of an office job, as he prefers his old job out and about the oil refinery, so he'll need to be careful with his wrist at first.
