I went with my mum on Sunday to visit my dad. The good news is that he's no longer bleeding from his anus and is looking a lot healthier than I had expected; he's spending most of the time out of bed and really enjoying the food - apparently it's a lot better than what's served here in Doncaster.

The ambulancemen offered him a choice of being admitted to hospital in either town; although he much prefers the town of Doncaster (and is a Rovers fan) he opted for Barnsley because of the superior food and easier access for my mum on public transport...there are long-term roadworks in Doncaster at the moment.
