He will be 80 in June, well done Dad for reaching that ripe old age ! Delighted to say we will all be there for the celebration.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392162723670163420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22000861.post-37666095725580126562007-01-17T09:46:00.000+00:002007-01-17T09:46:00.000+00:00Of course I can't actually see what's going on wit...Of course I can't actually see what's going on with him but when he phoned me again he soundedlike he was "on a good day" *S*Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392162723670163420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22000861.post-85181970132016713452007-01-17T09:44:00.000+00:002007-01-17T09:44:00.000+00:00Ahh, some enlightenment at last.

I asked them if they would like to wish Grandad a Merry Christmas. Eyes wide and apprehensive they waited while I punched in the numbers.<br />Oh dear, it did not take long before Dad was in tears and saying he felt ill. Poor man, I calmed him a bit and told him I would ring later that day. <br />My lot all looked at me and did not know what to say. "Go on you lot " says I, " he will be fine in a while". On my own then I decided to make a few calls. Poor Willie must have thought I had gone over the top . All has settled now and Dad cherrily phoned me yesterday to say he was sorry for the lack of conversation and hopes he did not upset me !. <br />I fully understand, he is going to get days like that. I feel for him, not long ago he was a big strong man. Now he is frail and ill. Life can sure give you a sudden kick. Frustrating being here in England and just getting phone calls.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392162723670163420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22000861.post-40269589727369293582006-11-30T17:56:00.000+00:002006-11-30T17:56:00.000+00:00He's been home for a number of weeks now, and thou...He's been home for a number of weeks now, and though a bit feeble is able to move about the house and make a few bits and pieces of food and such like. His morale has been quite low but my brother managed to take him out for a drive last weekend which cheered him up. The weather being so cold and damp, though, he knows not to go too far afield nor for too long. Nice to know he's out of hospital, but it's a deep regret to see him so slimmed-down and relatively inactive. Comes to us all, I suppose. Well, maybe not the slimming, in my case...!Willie_Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08874417653321575480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22000861.post-49179267691946128982006-11-29T21:50:00.000+00:002006-11-29T21:50:00.000+00:00Heya sorry to hear of uncle Tom he s in all out th...Heya sorry to hear of uncle Tom he s in all out thoughts let us know of any news all the best Kerry and TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22000861.post-35335221812474062222006-10-19T12:33:00.000+01:002006-10-19T12:33:00.000+01:00I of course agree with everything Willie has said....I of course agree with everything Willie has said. *S* Tom had another scan today, the doctor will tell him later of the results (second scan). It seems it would be mighty dangerous to operate as well. We will have to wait and see. Yes, we all breathed a sigh of relief when the big C word was not out in front of the conversation. Willie, our sister and myself, having finished our visit that day, giggled like kids down the corridor and into the lift. A false comfort for ourselves perhaps ?

At least it's something easier to deal with sometimes than Tom's other ailments. Sure he doesn't remember our brief meeting, but give him my best wishes anyway please. And hugs to the rest of the family. So glad you posted this...I hope Tom gets some speedy and lasting relief, and resolution of the aneurisms. <br /><br />AnghAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
