Re: As good as it gets .
Hi Buster, glad to hear you're still in the land of the living mate. The trials of life are still pretty much testing you I see. That must be very difficult for your brother, can you get any respite care for your Mum? On the gall bladder issue, Mrs F had hers removed in 2014 and was kept in overnight as a precaution. Obviously her stay wasn't complicated by Covid back then, but its a very straightforward procedure.
As for your anxiety, you can only do as much as you think you can manage. Though of course anxiety thrives on stressful circumstances. Try to take each day as it comes, I know this advice is one big cliche but sometimes that's all we have left. Take good care of yourself.
