Oh Sue I'm so sorry. So disappointing for you. Hope his recovery goes well, thinking of you!

Sorry to hear that, Sue.

Singlesue - I'm so so sorry to hear that and for making such a gross mistake yesterday (sorry to suep also). I'll be sending prayers for you all.

LameWolf

Oh, SingleSue, what a dreadful disappointment, for your poor Dad as well as the rest of the family.:(

:wave:

Just popping in and didn't wanna duck out without saying Happy Birthday to LameWolf

Sorry to hear about your dad SS

SingleSue

Just popping in very quickly...

Dad is doing ok, his speech is a bit robotic and flat, at times he looks confused and vague but he is back on his feet, a little unsteadier than before but at least he is up and about. After his episode yesterday, they did a scan on his neck and have discovered a blockage in his carotid artery...so a contrast MRI today to discover if it is a partial blockage or a complete one.

If it is a partial blockage, they will be having a meeting tomorrow to decide whether to operate (balancing the benefits outweighing the risks) and if they decide to go ahead, it will happen next week.....but he should (not counting my chickens this time!) be coming home tomorrow (now today) afternoon if all goes well overnight.

I've completely beggered my back, it was a little dodgy anyway and have felt like I am walking through sludge the last couple of days but tonight, getting the bins out ready for the bin men in the morning, only went and fell down a hole in the back garden (not a big hole, just enough for my ankle to twist over and for it to upset my gait) and bang, it has gone big time....my eldest had to support me into the house which took an absolute age and was agony, all the while telling me I WAS going to the doctor with it this time.

I thought it was us mums that are supposed to do the nagging, not the 16 year old sons :rotfl:

Invasion

Oh, Sue, did you not know, it reverses when you have kids over 15 or so?! I do the nagging of my mum not the other way round and dad. hahaa.

I'm glad that your dad's doing "ok" I do hope that this time nothing goes wrong! Thinking of you! x

Your son is right, y'know.

I hope your dad recovers well.

SingleSue listen to your very sensible son. GET THEE TO THE DOCTOR!
I hope your poor Dad recovers soon, and no more nasty strokes.

Be grateful you got an extra 6 years without being nagged and mothered!

I get it from DD2 (10) all the time - well, when I'm being nice to her, anyway, as she'll listen to my voice, watch my posture, loads of things, then she'll come out with

'If your back's hurting that much, why don't to go and lie down and I'll feed the cats?'

when I haven't said a word to her, or she'll take a jar out of my hands and open it before I've even tried to do it myself because

'I can see your hands are hurting'.

This is the same kid who will start an argument in an empty room (and ensure that I lose it before even knowing there's a disagreement ) but she can tell so much about me.

It's quite nice being bossed around though sometimes - it reminds me that she cares
