Sorry to hear your sad news - had a bit of that with my own dad. It can be a trying time for everyone.
'To visit easily' is a term I never thought I'd get to appreciate.
Slow but steady is the progress.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Those battery operated fly swatters from Poundland are great fun. Probably the maximum amount of fun you could extract from one British pound (as Tom Fun would probably say).
DON'T be tempted to put your finger between the grille to see what happens, it burns and it hurts.

They make a satisfying crack with a flash but bluebottles are only stunned. 
Also the residual power even minutes after switching off still stings if you touch the elements.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
After months of submitting my electric can opener to repeated GBH to get it to open any can, I've given up and bought a one touch can opener..
What's the odds that the old can opener will work perfectly from now on?
Mind I also took the precaution of buying a bog standard hand operated version...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
reformatted a computer today for an old friend of mine from my butchery days. He paid me with 3 fresh chickens and a huge full leg of pork. I had to bone roll joint slice and dice it though but I got 3 big joints 6 meals in pork steaks and about 5 or 6 bags of diced pork. On top of that of course is the hock so all in all not a bag wage really lol

I've no doubt you would get many volunteers to help 'hold up' any of your gravity stressed bits. 
In the meantime thanks for the update - glad you & yours are fine
