My Dad

[swralph]

Hello my Friends.
I found out earlier that my Dad has had a stroke and is in hospital.
My brother told me that things are not looking too good and that he has a clot on the brain and is unable to speak.
I'm hoping that he pulls through to some extent.
I usually talk to my dad on the phone every few days and that is going to throw me out of sync..
Apart from worrying about my dad I'm hoping that I don't come crashing down and I'm really going to try and stay positive.
This is a pic he sent me a few weeks ago of what he has been working on.

All the best.
Ralph.

I'm going to go fishing today to help keep my mind from worrying too much.

Cheers Nap.
It certainly was hot today and I did enjoy myself.
Everyone here is so kind and thoughtful.
I spoke to my sister earlier and she said that the nurse said that my dad was comfortable.
My brother will probably ring soon and let me know more, he lives by my dad so is able to go to the hospital.
It's difficult for me and my sister(she lives in Italy) to visit.
Ralph.
