Awake and up all night

Good Morning. 
Please don’t apologise. You are not moaning, we are all here for each other. Sending you both huge hugs. xx

Well said Gill. Life can hit you hard at times. Sending you both huge hugs too. xx

Aw thanks Kez  

Uki wasn't moaning at all and we all know what a tough call these times can be. But, this is certainly the place to have a right good old whinge!

Hoping your new meds to help the old meds will kick in soon, sweetheart xxx

Thanks Gill. Sometimes the tenon builds in you so much.

Well today's plan changed. We're in hospital with Dad. We went intonthe house at 10am and found him breathing but unresponsive so we called an ambulance. Mum was upstairs and didn't have a clue. They're making sure he hasn't had a TIA. He does have seizures but normally comes round quite quickly. He's much brighter now so hopefully we'll get him home later.

That's a bit of a shock and a worry H.

If it's not one thing, it's another! Glad to hear your dad feels better now though. It is very hot and older people are vulnerable.  Let's hope it was a touch of heat xxx

No worries hon, but don't we just know it? Pressure cookers have nowt on this game.

I've managed to keep the lid firmly closed on mine and am well into the second, tantrum-free week which is a miracle in itself. The solution was there all along in that I can't do anything to alter events but can alter the way I react to them. So, instead of blowing my top when another appointment letter drops through the door I've paused, thought right, it will get sorted and then put it out of my head till results etc are in. Then I'll deal with that.

It's been worth it as OH's daily eye leaks have all but dried up and I've now got a reasonably contented bloke in situ. Calmness begets calmness.

The only thing I'm struggling with is OH's relentless viewing of golf and cricket, so instead of grumbling at watching paint drying I've come upstairs to listen to music or podcasts and peace reigns supreme. Nothing major but another niggle solved.

Here endeth the sermon and blessings to you little brother xxx

Fingers crossed for Dad Helen, but his age will play a part too, unfortunately  xxx

Oh goodness Helen you’re having a pretty eventful few days. Fingers crossed he comes home soon xxx

Sorry to hear that Sbird.  Hope he doesn't have to spend too long in hospital.
