Hi
Thanks for all your answers.
When I suggest he's depressed he says 'he'll behave himself in future' (I think he thinks that we just think he's being grumpy).
The house is kept tidy but as he lives alone he doesn't cook that much for himself.
I'll mention the 'tonic' idea LoftyLottie - thanks. The problem is he really has an issue with 'bothering doctors' - even when there is something physically wrong with him. No matter how much I try to convince him that that is what they are paid for, he doesn't like doing it. That being said, he's going to see one tomorrow (he finished chemo a little while ago and he's still very weak from it - another reason he can't get out and about much and this, of course, is making him feel even worse). I told him to ask the doctor when this weekness is going to subside and I think he will. Trouble is, he'll be all cheerful in front of the Doctor so they don't stand much of a chance of picking up on it!!
