Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a lovely little reminder that a serious illness does not have to be taken entirely seriously. Yes, there will be moments when 'laughing in the aisles' is inappropriate - when an injection is being administered, for example, or during the funeral - but much of the time illness can be funny and we will all feel better for laughing at it. I've nursed both my Mum and Dad and we always tried to keep enjoying ourselves. When my Dad had really forgotten everything, my Mum and I saw the funny side of it, and laughter, which had always been central in our family life, kept its place at the table.
