For the next few weeks I can see we will be trekking over to the hospital, about 40 minutes away, most mornings.
We visited my father this morning. Once again he was ready and waiting for his hip operation. Apart from that he was very cheerful and doing his best to make some sense of things in spite of all the mess. And,
praise the Lord and Hallelujah! (And I mean that seriously)
at lunchtime, we learned that he was definitely having the op. In fact my brother had got to the hospital just in time to walk beside our father on the way to the theatre.
All seems to have gone well and he's back on the ward and had something to eat.
We shall find out more tomorrow.

I have eaten a whole packet of caramelised mixed nuts this afternoon while compulsively reading 'We Solve Murders' by Richard Osman. I have my eye on the caramelised pecans next...
And I need to choose which Christmas present book to begin...
I'm so glad your dad was able to have the operation. I hope all went well.
ReplyDeleteIs that a good book? I'm thinking of reading it or listening to it.
Thank you
DeleteI enjoyed the book, it's mad and crazy and confusing and off the wall but if you 'go with the flow' and suspend disbelief... the characters are reminiscent of the Thursday murder club gang while being different. In the old days it would have been a 'penny dreadful'!
O good. Your Dad had the operation, now if only he can heal well then life will resume again. For him and for you.
ReplyDeleteOh yes please! Thank you
DeleteI'm glad the op has happened and your Bro got there in time. I was informed yesterday by my nut-loving spouse (with his surname it's inevitable) that PECAN comes from the Algonquin word PAKANI which means 'hard shelled

Public service announcement; do NOT eat the whole bag of nuts if you are wishful of a good night's sleep.... 😉

DeleteHave you been told how long your Dad will be in hospital??? Post-Covid hospital stays are shorter than they used to be. When my mother broke her hip at a similar age, she was packed off to a nursing home to convalesce as soon as she was partially mobile.
ReplyDeleteNot yet... 4 days in medical ward and 2 weeks in rehab ward was mentioned. I'm hoping he'll be transferred to local hospital in a few weeks.
