Battycat's tags:
I've been on holiday from work this week, but I've still spent most of my time at hospital, just not the one i work in!
Dad's ill at the moment, well, he'll never get better from this, all they can do is try to relieve the symptoms. So - I shall spend fathers day with him, well as much as the visiting will allow. I was up there this evening, it's about an hour away from where i live, and he slept through my whole visit! I didn't mind, he's been struggling to sleep for weeks, so I was really pleased to see it, just a bit mind numbing while you're there.
Anyway, off to bed soon, I want to get up with the sun tomorrow, then I'll hit the road again.

    Batty.....use any single moment you can have with him. It does good to his health and it does good to your emotional being.

    I would have loved to be close to my father when he got sick years ago. But i was here in America, he was there in Italy.

    Even though my father and I were estranged for more than 20 years I feel blessed to have been able to care for him in the last 2 years of his life.
    I'm sorry your Dad is ill, Batty.

    I'm sure even though he was sleeping just having you there was a comfort to him.  I'm sorry to hear that he's ill.

    glad to hear he was awake and brighter today.  but, awake or asleep... it is comforting just to be there when you know you can't do much else for him.

    Well I'm sorry to hear your dad is in bad shape, but happy to hear that you still got to spend the day with him anyhow.  I'm sure he loved that.
