Bus Stop Puddle

Day 46: At 8.30am a nurse from the hospital phoned and opened with, "I'm afraid I have some very bad news". You can imagine what went through my mind and how I felt!! Long story cut very short, Dad had had a fall at 5.30am, badly injuring his elbow and cutting his head on the end of the bed. Spent 4hrs with him, CT scans and x-rays clear but the fall has really set him back in many ways. Spent an hour with the Senior Ward Sister to find out how this could possibly have happened, why was the ward unattended, she will report back to me tomorrow. 

After yesterday's big improvement today was a huge blow. Left hospital feeling very despondent, but at least the heavy rain had stopped, leaving reflecting puddles behind. Got home to find a sodden cardboard parcel on the doorstep (a birthday present I'd ordered for Dad to give to me), thank you delivery driver! Thankfully the contents weren't damaged.

I need to switch off and decompress now otherwise it'll be yet another sleepless night.
