Just had a bit of a shock, found out my dad has had a stroke. It is a shock because I have a grandad who is 101 & you expect these things to happen to him.
My dad is only 62, and is fit. Not only physically but in a Clint Eastwood way too!

So does anyone know anything about strokes? I know its not a big stroke & he seems to not been affected on him mobility but he has gone nearly blind with it & is having big headaches. Does the blindness ease up at all?

Aaaah I think I'm in shock! My Easter holiday will be spent finishing off the roof he has started to put on the cottage - best get my hard hat out and a few temporary hutches & runs made to take the piggies over to Lincolnshire to help him out......doesn't life throw you a few strange deals now & then!
 
I'm so sorry to hear this Hils, my Dad has had a few strokes too, but he's still up and running and he's coming up for 81 in July :)
As long as you ask heaps of questions of the Doctors and make sure Dad follows all the instructions he'll have a good life, medicine is simply amazing these days.
Cuddles and loves to you and the family a big one for your Dad :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
just found a half decent pic of dad & I. I like this pic because its the first day trip I had after getting out of hospital last year. I look scrawny in this pic - I have put on about 1 stone since!

I'm so very sorry, darling.

Sending you so much love and sending healing to your dad :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
Its all or nothing between us 2!
I've just had some disturbing news that he said he is going to shoot himself when he gets out. He does have a shot gun license & shot guns. I think I'm gonna take a ride over to the house & hide the cabinet key - if he's about blind he won't be able to find it - especially if its 1 hour away from his house >:D
 
Thanks G & L. I keep feeling like I want to burst out laughing - am I normal or is this shock?!
