Hi Jenny
Am very pleased you find this site comforting, as at times like these its good to know folk are there to help and advice:-D
As for the Booklets, as Min says they can be downloaded or if you nip to your Dr's or Hospital you can get what you want.
Its a shame your Stepmum is not allowing you all to be more active in your Dads care as it will make it a lot easier for her in the years to come.
As for speaking too soon as your dad gets better 😀 trust me Jenny its never too soon to talk about the good things that are happening.
As for me i am wishing your Dad a "Onwards and Upwards" and that has always worked for me.
Hope all is soon resolved with your Stepmum as that in itself can only be good for your Dad 😎
Love and best wishes
