My Dad is in hospital

[ElizabethJane]

I was not sure whether to post this. My Dad was taken to hospital by ambulance this morning. He had collapsed and his carer found him. He has been unwell for a while and complaining of shortness of breath. He had a severe nose bleed a few weeks ago and my sister and I thought he had had a stroke. Tonight he is on the cardiac ward. My N is in Canada until Saturday. I just need some support tonight. I haven't posted about this before but the last few weeks have been horrendous. EJ.

Hi thanks my son is asleep in bed. I going to head off to bed soon. I'm going to work tomorrow and see Dad on Saturday. The staff nurse has my contact nos as I am next of kin. I'll take a low dose sleeping pill so hopefully I will sleep. I have already given a lot of his history over the phone. I'm glad he is in hospital as he has lost about 2st in weight. Both my sister and I have thought the doctor has been missing something. He has been slurring his words and lost interest in himself and not eating. He phones us in a panic but it could be panic? thyroid? macular degeneration? He is going blind. He has macular hallucinations.That and the shortness of breath. Poor darling hopefully some of his problems will now be addressed. I was beginning to feel negligent as we did not know what to do. So tired so going to bed now. Thank you EJ.
