Powerstarâ„¢ Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 You can ring me if you want Adam. Every hour to tell me the time as i've broke my watch On a more serious note, I know I havn't been here lately with the issues and so forth, but honestly, reading through this topic makes you think. My thoughts go out to you all at the moment, such sad times at present. Doesn't bear thinking about all the heartbrake and sad times some of you are going through. :'( There's not much more I can say, just chin up and remember there's always someone worse off than you somewhere, even if you don't for a minute think so. Things WILL get easier... \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Pop ain't doing to good. His GP has admitted him to hospital as he is rapidly becoming weaker. As well as Pleurisy his spine is crumbling. Nanna is too small to be able to help him around anymore. Sorry to hear that Tris and my thoughts are with you because I know exactly how you must be feeling. I got an expected phone call from my mother at lunchtime yesterday saying that my dad was at the local doctor's surgery for a 3 monthly injection for another aliment he has had and he had complained to the nurse that his leg which he had a hip replacement on some 11 weeks ago was a bit swollen. He was examined by a doctor and whisked into Aberdeen Royal Infirmany by ambulance. When I eventually got in and located him (a few hours later) he was just back from X-rays and scans and transpires he has a blood clot in his leg. Hopefully though he is in the best place where they can monitor what is happening but the waiting and not knowing is a not nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 It's me Dad's Dad, Sean. He of war veteran fame. We have always called him Pop as my Nanna thought Grandad made him sound to old He is very very weak and if he does come out of hospital he will be going to a sheltered nursing Home type place. As it is, he may not have long with us. His body is tired at 88 (I think ) and the doctors have said if he leaves us, they won't resuscitate. It wouldn't be fair on his body to bring him round. :'( Everything is a bit in limbo right now and nobody really knows what to think about it all.

JC Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'm of the same opinion as Mark here, i hate this topic but its a chance to share your problems and hear a few words of encouragement from the rest of the gang so keep posting! Barry, bad news mate.... I hope it all pans out for the best for everyone Sorry to hear that Tris and my thoughts are with you because I know exactly how you must be feeling.

Hopefully though he is in the best place where they can monitor what is happening but the waiting and not knowing is a not nice. Same thing happened to my pop when he had his first hip replaced Bill, ended up with a blood clot on his lung which resulted in him having a stroke. We didn't find out about the stroke for quite some time afterwards following numerous tests and visits to specialists. He's now on warfrin to help thin his blood, it will be two weeks tomorrow since he had his second hip replaced so we're all waiting with baited breath to see if we have any similar problems again..... I hope everything goes smoothly for your dad.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope everything goes smoothly for your dad.... I hope all goes well for your dad second time round with the hip Jason. I visited my dad last night and he is in good spirits ( not the alcoholic type which he would probably prefer ;) ) but was still in bed and wasn't up as such yesterday since he had been told by the doctors to rest. They started him on warfrin on Monday night plus daily injections so we are hoping that Will dissolve the clot. I didn't manage to speak to a doctor as such since at visiting times it just seemed to be the junior ones who were doing the rounds. Never mind we will see what todays says. The disappointing thing is that we have a family wedding this Saturday a cousin of mine so that is kinda still on hold as to who will get along to it.

The doctor would not even allow dad to walk back home which would only have been a 10 minute or so walk and he arranged for the ambulance to collect him direct from the surgery.
