Darling Father

My father had what the doctors think was a stroke on Friday night.  He sold at a table top sale on Saturday morning, went to Church on Sunday morning and was drinking whisky and watching Liverpool win on Sunday afternoon.

His left side is very weak and he is very tired.  Nothing could persuade him to go to A&E.  I tried but he won't do something he doesn't want to.  So this morning I went and stood in the GPs surgery and as they didn't have any appointments the GP rang him and insisted that he went to A&E.  My father actually listened to him.

He is likely to be in for a few days, so I will juggle a few things to be able to visit, fuss etc.  He will miss out on his holiday to Benidorm and (selfishly) we will miss out on our first weekend away without bear since he was born.  To be honest, I am less upset at that than I am worried about father.  However he looks like he will be fine.

Thank you all so much for the good wishes, hugs and prayers. I know he has finally got to hospital (and was told off by the nurse for leaving it so long!) and now things should start to improve. Still fretting. Thank you again, it's a really comfort. WS xxx
