He did have a point, you could have ended up with crutch and legs soaked in petrol - one spark or casual cigarette end or even just hot exhaust and whoomf - cremated before your time. Petrol fire is really a controlled explosion, and very destructive and unforgiving.

Thanks all. Just been up to the hospital again, he was actually a lot better tonight but the reality is that his heart is wearing out, so short term, in days, he's fighting but mid term it's grim.

Sorry to hear that LPH.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
My wife recently lost her dad to COPD, she had a similar relationship with him as you do with your dad, so I sympathise with you as I know it's a sad, difficult and confusing time.
Remember to look after yourselves too
