Dad has some ongoing health issues and we've all been very worried about him.
I lost my DH to cancer a few years ago, so I'm well aware of what can happen and Dad is well aware of what I went through while DH was ill, and subsequently.
Even so, he delivers every message about his health as if the end is nigh.
"I got my blood rest results, it's not good". He was low in B12.
The day after discharge from hospital. "I'm not very good, can you help?" He wanted a lift to an appointment.
Everytime, I think he's about to deliver devastating news. At this rate it won't be illness that finishes him off...
