24th August Update on my dad.

This last week was sort of going ok and another it appeared in my life.Away from about that it.Last Thursday seen my dad in the morning he was just finishing his breakfast.Said I was of home to reseal my bath and see him later on.Little did I know what was going to happen. Finished sealing  bath and having a brew when phone rung.It was dad saying he couldn't get up and I said will be there straight away.Got to my dads house and found him laying on kitchen floor.His knee slipped as he turned and went straight down.Dad said a lot of pain in his right hip.Straight on to doctor and ambulance. Doctor said dads hip or ankle is broken. Got to Carlisle hospital with dad and then with xrays and ct scan. Xrays revealed dad has broken his hip. As Thursday went on the docs give dad some morphine for pain but it conflicted in dad and made his body go regited every few minutes.After ct scan dad did not as much regited but still with his heart rate to high.The docs couldn't do anything and until he calmed down a  bit.As time went by on Thursday he did calm down a bit but not enough to operate on.Me and my brother came home as our sisters where there with dad waiting for the medical team to look at dad.They moved dad to a ward and will look at him in morning to see if they could or not operate on his hip.Friday went along but dad being in pain and blood pressure to high. They still could not operate on.Saturday arrives I went to see dad but 10 mins before I got there they taken him to be operated on. I was on the way home got a call from sister and dad refused the opp at the theatre.So with dad being wound up they sent him back to ward and will try again in morning.This morning my brother and sister where with dad and got him to accept op and he went in the theatre for the opp ok.I went this afternoon as dad was back in the ward and what a difference in him.Dad was talking to me and my brother and his wife in a lot better way.But with still the drugs in him from operation.Repair to his hip it will take a long time for dad to get back on his feet.Dad made me laugh said he will be home tonight if not will be home tomorrow.Today for  my dad after having operation and is on the long road of recovery for him.This is where patience is a virtue for dad and I will be there for him the best I can for dad.
