Well, my dad seems to be doing ok with his new tablets. Had a few days of sickness but seems to have settled.
Frustration this time is on my part. He was on his own this weekend and there's nothing more I would have liked than to be there for him. Look after him and take the pressure off..............but again when he needs me I get ill!
It happened before when he was in hospital, I had a viral infection which lead to pluricy (sorry about the spelling!!), so I wasn't allowed to visit and although this time he was at home I don't want to risk passing on any infections - have a cold and cough. It has hit me hard so I'm sure it would hit dad harder. He understood and told me not to worry, he didn't want to get sick again, but I'm still angry with myself for not being there for him!!
Anyway, sorry rat over. Seems so trivial in the big scheme of things but it has really hit me hard. Suppose it's just starting to sink in how fragile dad is. :-(
