I feel like its become an inevitability of one or the other of them being acutely ill at any point in time.
But for the last week, dads been in intense pain - he thought it might be a DVT (hes had them before), OOH dr wouldn't see him, GP came and said it was prob his hip and gave him paracetamol, and he's spent the week unable to walk without 2 sticks (even a metre) and crawling to the loo.
Last couple of days, unable to drink or eat without vomiting.
So now, he's in hospital, mum is deeply confused about it all (this is not saying a lot), and I'm 80 miles away, and fretting.
And MAU never answer the phone - which I understand, they are busy, but its kind of nice to know something about your relative.

On the bright side, my parents made it to March before either of them had to be admitted this year..
