.....although my builder needs his gall bladder removed and when the consultant told him the op. would be next Spring his wife immediately responded with "And why the ****** hell is that?!" Op. now scheduled for next week .....

I said something similar when OH needed op which was to be months away. Op was done following week. Must be a wife thing!!
WBF hope your dad is ok. Having a plan of what needs to be done when and by whom for the animals both for the short term while your dad is in hospital and then when he is back home is a good idea and will let you prioritise. Shearing and hay making is a wee while away but thinking now about getting help in then will one less thing on the to do list. What about a student in for over the summer?
One important thing though is to make sure you look after yourself and your mum. The doctors are looking after your dad
