There's nothing like a whole bunch of problems to remind you that you are alive and kicking ! The winner of the giveaway (no I hadn't forgotten) is Jeannie. Hello Jeannie are you still out there ? Congratulations, daughter picked you out what seems a lifetime ago........please get in touch so I can post it to you.
The builders came out of the blue and the plasterers.......
Dad rang in great pain and couldn't get a signal on his phone to ring for paramedics.......I rang for him, emphasising where he lives and that I was ringing from a different address........the paramedic was here in minutes...... and sent away again.......neighbours were out like a flash to see if I was OK........ (it's not that long ago I was rushed into hospital)........stood 5hours in A&E with dad until they found him a bed..........
a week later father in law was rushed into A&E.......stood four and a half hours with him until they found him a bed. Usually has a black wallet on him with a lot of money in it.....had a BROWN one we have never seen before with only has a tenner in it .......mentioned it to the hospital staff....... search his flat for his money .....fear he has been robbed as we search his flat and things don't add up. 3 days later the staff tell us the hospital has his money in the safe.......Weeks later was checking out care homes for him........."best interest" meetings.........search his flat again, this time for paperwork.......mountains of it ! Father in law now in a residential home where he is settling in nicely and my dad is home misbehaving himself as normal......I just have to clear up after the builders and plasterers.........decorate........and put everything back......... empty father in laws flat...........and find out Jeannie's address to send her the giveaway..........
It could be said, that if nothing else, your never short of something to do!
