wag 13 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 well my dad was rushed in hospital monday night, now they have done that many tests since he has been in there and they have taken loads of blood and have now narrowed it down to his bowels , well we went to see him last again and o my god he looks so ill it took my breath . he has not eaten since saturday, they will not allow him to eat or drink until they get to the bottom of whats wrong with him . now my dad has worked hard all of his life he never had a day off through sickness up until 10 years ago when he had a massive heart attack he got over that, then he had to go to leceister hospital to have a camera put down his throat to check his heart was functioning ok . well my step mum, my wife and myself all went along with him so he was not alone , we was all there when he went down and everything was ok, he was calm happy with what the doctor told him .well it was meant to be a 1hour op which turned out to be 2 half hours we knew there was something wrong . well dad came out the op room and back to the ward where we were waiting for him , he looked fine untill he tried to speak to us but he couldn't, he had a stroke while having the op, he lost his speech his use in the left side of his body . so that was another set back in his life but my dad is not a quitter and the man he is , he got on with what he had to do,and learnt to walk and talk again ,i am so proud of my dad for that , anyway he is not 100 % better but gets by . then 3 years ago he had another heart attack, there is nothing like kicking someone when there down is there .again my dad being the man he is, he got over that .....and now this has happened. i tried to go to work this morning but i could not work when i got there , its there every where i turn ,l could not sleep last night thinking about it and i can't think about anything else but what has happened .when will it end ..........

RETIC80 11 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Life is very cruel and also very very unfair,seems all the good people are taken from us or are effected by some life threatining illness or other. My brother passed away 9 yrs ago and he was only 14,hard times i tell you,that was from cancer. My thoughts are with you and your family,all the best mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
