Oh Lynn, you've got me with you every step of the way..........I was just telling someone that life for me at the moment is like an old-fashioned ghost train.........it's a very bumpy ride and every now and then something else jumps out at me!

Your poor Dad - I think they are so stubborn because they're frightened and too proud to show it.

I tend to cope with things by 'doing' and at the moment I can't, physically can't, do what I want.........so frustrating.

Hope you get good news soon, please do let us know.

Love and huggies
Annie

    Dear Lynn

    The beginning of your post made me feel envious of your efficiency, but then I read about your Dad, and my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

    I have been in your shoes, as my mother had a stroke. The waiting for news, and the results of tests is very stressful, so I feel for you.

    I do hope your Dad will recover as he has done before. It sounds as though he has a strong fighting spirit, so hopefully he will pull through.

    I am thinking of you

    Joan

    Hello Lynn
    Sorry to hear about your poor dad.
    Must be an awful worry for you.

    Hope it all works out alright for you. There are going to be a lot of decision to make in the coming months. We sometimes however, find the strength to cope with it all. God bless

    HI Lynn,

    sending you loads of hugs - so sorry to hear about your dad.

    You know .... they often seem fragile to us but can really pull out all the stops and show us a thing or two about fighting .... hope you get some news soon and that things are not as bad as you fear.

    all my hugs & love

    Hello Lynn

    I do hope your Dad will pull through, and that he will make a good recovery. As you say, it is a good sign if he is grumpy.

    Take care of yourself too, as it is a stressful time for you.

    - I just get a bit scared, cuz you're never old enough to be an orphan, are you

    Hi Lynn

    You are so right with this comment. My parents died over 20 years ago, but I still feel like an orphan.

    I'm glad to hear that your Dad is giving the nurses a run for their money :!: :D I hope he will soon feel better.
