Cheers for all the comments.
Dreamer i was in aus too when my other grandad was very ill. my family said the same. he was that high on tablets he didn't even know where he was so me being there wouldn't have helped. Scoobypete is anabsolute gent. i really wasn't expecting that. Its very humbling

Warren i dunno. i think i need to see the doc. the comfort eating thing sounds about right lol. i have alot of snacks now, probably 1 meal a day. whereas before it was 2 set meals and grab something on the go in the middle of the day.
