Went into Aberdeen to visit dad today, I'm not long home actually. But yeah, he's not looking bad at all, he's had his drip taken out, which is good to see.  He's still waiting for a procedure to get done, to put his drainage tubes inside his body rather than outside, which sounds worrying but I hope won't be.  If that makes sense.

I had some time ( Read more... )

....I'd really like a drink.

My Dad's back in hospital again.  This time it's his kidneys - and he wonders why I worry so much!  They haven't been right for a while now, but the doctors have been keeping an eye on him.  A couple of days ago they took a blood sample, then about 11:30pm that same day a doctor turned up at the door wanting to check him over.  Long story short(ish ( Read more... )

Weather's been amazing these past few days...I can't believe that it's expected to bloody snow over the weekend!  Daisy's funny.  She follows the sun around the room over the course of the day.  They're both heat junkies, just like every other cat I've ever known.

Managed to drop a case of wine at work today, and ended up breaking six of them, which ( Read more... )

Do you ever get the feeling you're on the outside looking in?

I do.  Quite often.

I don't like it.

My Dad's back home! :D

He seems to be doing okay.  Still a bit stiff and sore, but I guess that's to be expected.  I'm still worried though, I'm always half expecting something else to go wrong, for him to relapse or something.  I know Gillian would say that there's no point in worrying about these things until they happen, and I know she's got a ( Read more... )

It has not been a good week.

Dad went into hospital last Friday after being crippled with stomach/back pain while at work.  At first we weren't too worried because the doctors said the symptoms indicated gallstones, but they phoned us on Saturday and it turned out what he had was an abdominal aortic aneurysm which needed prompt surgery.  So we spent ( Read more... )

Happy New Year!  I hope you all had a great time - my evening was quiet.  I could have gone out, I suppose, but after being at work all day all I really wanted to do was flop.  So that is what I did.  I had some champagne with my Dad, we saw in the bells then went to bed.  Later on today we're going to my sister's house for dinner, which should be ( Read more... )

Almost Christmas now.  I'm prepared...or thereabouts.  I've got one present to wrap and that's it.  But there is also some food and drink shopping to be done, which will happen tomorrow because it's double discount day where staff get 20% off our shopping.  So that helps.

Speaking of work, we have no real manager at the moment.  Well, we have ( Read more... )

Tried to do a post a few days ago, but it didn't work. I think Frank ate it. Will try again later.
