Dad's progress

[spikestoy]

I went to see Dad on Saturday with my brother. We only stayed for the day as we had tickets to a concert for Saturday night and Dad was desperate for us to go - plus I had people staying over for the night

It's still pretty early days yet, Toy, so be positive. It seems like your dad is making progress. It is hard on the mums, especially going to and fro from the hospital. The number of times my mum has had to do this over the years; and of course, I can't go down and help anymore. I'm sure they'll both really appreciate you being there for a few days *hugs*

Thanks pet (hug)

I am trying to be the strong one but I am such an emotional being that I don't think I do a very good job!

You are right, it can be just as hard on the carer as the patient and Mum isn't sleeping so I am terrified she will get run down. She has high blood pressure as it is.

I am optimistic about Dad's recovery but I certainly don't have blinkers on. I know his life will never be the same again but at least he is still with us and has all our love and support. As you say, it is very early days and a lot can happen in 6-12 months.
