Been surfing the net & watching trashy tv whilst the rain lashes down outside - horrid night. The bunnies are in because of fireworks but actually I’m glad as it’s blowing a hoolie! We’ve loved having house rabbits, albeit only for short periods. Don’t want them to get too used to being indoors. It’s really bonded us as a family which was much needed.

I am. I'm at my parents and I thought my Dad was having a stroke. Parents have gone off in ambulance. I couldn't leave sleeping DC. DH 200 miles away at home.

Dad seems ok but needs to be checked out. I really need to sleep but too wired.

thighofrelief · 07/11/2018 00:46

Dapped i was in exactly your position 3 weeks ago tomorrow. I was so so worried but Dad is out of hospital and out of danger now. They really are brilliant once he's in the hospital.

DappledThings · 07/11/2018 00:52

Thank you thigh. The paramedics were brilliant. His blood pressure is dropping really low but he improved loads even before ambulance arrived.

Hope your Dad stays well.

I'm just glad I was here. New boiler installation has overrun my house so I stayed a day longer than planned. Mum would have been on her own otherwise.

I’m up! My 2 year old has suspected mumps. We’re just having Chuba chubs at 1am because she’s not really eating!!
She’s a little trooper but the sleep deprivation is back to newborn days!!

KatyN · 07/11/2018 01:34

Thank heavens for calpol!
No storm here, I think that would be quite soothing.

TheGhostsOfPresidentsYetToCome · 07/11/2018 01:37

I can’t sleep. I’m staying over at my mums after spending the evening at the hospital with my Nan who had pneumonia. My mum just text to say she died a short while ago.

She was in her 90s and lived a full life and was in a lot of pain today. Mixed emotions.

HeronLanyon · 07/11/2018 01:40

Watching US election results come in.

HeronLanyon · 07/11/2018 01:41

Ghost I Am really sorry about your nan.

ThrowThoseCurtainsWide · 07/11/2018 01:42

Flowers to everyone dealing with family illness today.

I'm up, had to finalise the programme design for a concert I'm in in 10 days time. I'm totally exhausted, but my brain is working overtime trying to distract from the difficult home life I've had this week. FinallyFree your a brave strong woman for him to even become your ex, I hope you're okay tonight

HeronLanyon · 07/11/2018 01:43

And dappled hope he recovers. He’s in the best of hands.

thighofrelief · 07/11/2018 01:50

Dappled Dad's BP kept going through the floor too but they sorted him out. What serendipity about your boiler, the world is just strange sometimes. With Dad they treated him straight away as though he had had a stroke and a heart attack whilst they were waiting to find out. I thought that was very clever and the doctors were excellent. It sounds positive if he was starting to improve with the paramedics.

thighofrelief · 07/11/2018 01:53

Ghost I'm sorry about your Nan, thank goodness her pain has gone.

Eloisedublin123 · 07/11/2018 01:54

I’m up. I’m a and e in hospital in Dublin next to a husband who thought he was having a heart attack.

Kahlua4me · 07/11/2018 02:50

I am awake as decided to have a coffee this evening and now can’t sleep.

My friend text a short while ago to say that her darling mum had just died. I spent the afternoon with them, knowing tat she didn’t have long left, and feel blessed to have had that time together. She was a beautiful soul.
