They are great at James Paget, and on the drip of concentrated ( I was going to say Prosecco sorry just trying to wind Gracie up) good stuff you will soon feel your old self again. When your levels drop as yours did , you just feel like a limp rag, you have absolutely no get up and go. Yes I have been there , but thankfully without your complications. 3 or 4 days on the good stuff and I am sure they will let you home. Moral of this story, blow showering or bathing , we would rather have you in one piece. Must say well done to Marina. God bless you both. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawsOrca Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Hi All, I think it's probably best to share a bit of an update on dad. He is still in James Pageant Hospital. His stats had looked good and was off the drip and was eating and drinking well and even sitting up and getting mobile with the help of Physio. Sadly yesterday he become mute and distant and I suspect he's suffered a stroke. Test results should be back today and hopefully we get some more details soon. But if you can offer thoughts and prays perhaps that will help. The family are visiting daily. I'll provide more details as and when. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Thank you Jaws for the update. I and I am sure the rest of his forum family will be sending everything in the way of thoughts and love to him and the whole family If he can understand, please tell him we are fighting in spirit with him and for him Love Grace xxx 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIDH Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Don't like reading this. My fingers are crossed it's not a stroke and that he can come back to some sort of normality in his life. He really has suffered over the last year or so. My best wishes David 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I am beyond sorry to hear this. He has fought all the afflictions that have befallen him this year with such determination. I can only endorse everything Gracie said. All our prayers are with him and his family. Carole 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
