  • I don't believe it....

    Well, first it was the car, slashed tires, broken window and all the upset that came with it.
    Then it was the cat with his absurse and his urine infection and the trips to the vets, trying to get his tablets down him etc.
    NOW... its my Dad, i rang him this morning to see how he was....no answer, i thought, "that's funny" (not ha ha funny), he's slow to get to the phone because he's not right good on his feet, but no answer. So i rang the sheltered housing where he has his bungalow, they said they'd go and see what was wrong, 10 mins later they rang me to tell me they've sent for an ambulance, dads had a bad fall, so i zoomed to the hospital to find my dad there with the biggest plaster you've ever seen on his head, a thumb looking like a ring of black pudding and a massive bruise on his arm.
    He'd fallen going to the bathroom about 8 'o' clock this morning and he'd been laid there till i'd phoned the home at 9.45, he's 85 bless him, i never realised just how old he looks until today when he was sat in that wheelchair..so the hospital is keeping him in to do some tests on him to try and find out why he feel, because he's very confused about where he is and can't remember being in the ambulance, i'm going back to see him now so hopefully the Drs might have some answers for me.

    That's terrible news but at least you phoned and bothered to follow it up when he didn't answer. There are a lot of people who would have been there for much longer.

    Hope he's on the mend very quickly.

          Poor thing. I hope he feels better quickly and the doctors can work out why he fell.
          Big hugs and I hope Zazen is right that you've now had your 3 so better luck should follow.

              Hope he feels better soon. Its funny how our parents become our children in a way. Mine are no longer with me and I didnt really know my dad as he died when I was six, but I am sure we would have had a good relationship. He would have been 99 now lol.
              Hugs to you and your dad.

                Just got back from the hospital, he's been for a head scan this afternoon, his thumb is broken and he has a hairline crack on his skull where he banged it, he's to stop in till at least Monday...on the brighter side, he's chatting all the nurse's up and he's in the bed next to an old work mate from the pit, so needless to say..there's lots of coal being dug up.
                Thanks for the well wishes, i'll pass them on to him. xx

                Ive bought an extra Lotty ticket today..my lucks got to change..surely

                      Best wishes to the poor fella, hopefully being next to a mate will aid his recovery.
