Dad in hospital.
« on: 16 November 2010, 21:56:31 »
Thankfully only routine for varicose vein removal. Mum did'nt tell me till yesterday. Dad's in his 80's. Still sharp, drives etc. but it's a worry. Just thinking i'd phone Mum & ask after him when she phoned me. Never been so scared, i was terrified  but she only phoned to say he's out from the op, chipper as ever & loving the nurses! They have private health care & friends from across the lane are collecting him from Chichester tomorrow. Apperently he can't wait to get back to his chair & have a cocktail & a cigar!!! I remember as a 14 year old he'd wrestle a bull to feed it some concoction that looked like porridge out of a bottle, (he was a vet) so to see him so frail now is worrying to say the least. I can't wait to see them over chrimbo.
    Sorry to go on but i worry every phone call will be the dreaded one.

Guy, you are just a big softy really..... :y

Glad your Dad is going to be OK..... :y :y

I know what you mean when thinking about your parents, after all, we know what the future is likely to hold  :(  I was having this conversation for real with my Mum and Dad recently, talking about wills who gets what, and in my case what happens if I go before them etc...a strange thing to think about.... :(

Yeah. They like bringing that up. It'll all go to Mum first. I just ask them not to talk about it as it's too upsetting but i suppose they have to. I'll be in no fit state to deal with anything & imagine my elder brother Phil who'se a solicitor will be the executor but i don't give a rats, the topic is out of bounds this year's visit.
    Big as i am i don't mind admitting the lump in my throat & watery eye are finally on the ebb & i'm looking forward to seeing them both soon.

Hi Amigo, I'm sure Dad will be fine, frail he may be, but I bet his heart is still big enough to try to wrestle yet another bull. I have lit a candle for your Dad and Mum, if you find things like that at all comforting, go to gratefulness.org  Take care... ;)

Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
