I'm due in Mardale on Thursday, but at the moment, I'm merely collecting odds and ends in Cornwall.

I could arrange to meet Severus wherever he is currently lodged. Somewhere in Sherwood, is it? I have not travelled there at all, so I would need directions for Apparition and someone to meet and guide me. Shall I come tomorrow?

When you say he needs continuous care, Minerva, what exactly do you envision? It would be extremely awkward for me to clear my commitments in the next several weeks. I can examine him and see that he receives whatever is medicinally needed to treat his needs, acute or chronic, but I cannot promise to sit by his bedside whether in a forest or elsewhere.
