Dad in Hospital

Less than one minute read time.

My Dad is currently in Hospital and has been in there was over a week. I really feel that he doesn't have long. I had a few days off work this week and this is my first day back, i feel detached from my colleagues and my dad is constantly on my mind and I want to be with him. I never realised until it was to late what a huge part of my life my dad was and how much a loved him. I feel so isolated at work and was told by a colleague work as the best place for me

    My dad is in hospital too, we've just been told they won't do any more chemo and we've to meet the palliative care team so I know exactly how you feel. I work full time and I just can't make myself care about the pointless little day to day dramas that go on here, they don't matter to me any more. On the plus side this apparently gives me a more 'chilled out' attitude to work. Great. I too didn't realise how much my dad meant until I realised I was going to lose him. If I'd known I didn't have the years with him that I expected I'd have attended more Sunday dinners, spent more time pottering in the garden with him, arranged days out and trips to the Lake District. I wouldn't have taken all those moments with him when he made me laugh for granted, I'd have stored each one away in my mind as something precious and I wish I could go back and do them again so I'd remember them all but I can't. If wishes could change things I'd have mended him by now. I'll be thinking of you and hoping that even in the hospital you can get a few more good moments to treasure with your dad. All the best and stay strong, Vikki xxx
