Well, crap
I'm disappointed but i'm also worried. I called Graham tonight because i hadn't seen his emails for the Upwords games which is unusual. I won't be online with him tomorrow night or tonight and wouldnt' talk to him until i saw him on Friday. I thought maybe he was having computer or connection problems so i decided to call.
He said he was very glad i did because he had something to tell me. His dad is in hospital. oh nooo. I knew he had been having a little difficulty catching his breath and had stopped smoking his pipe a short while ago. What he didn't tell Graham was how crap he was actually feeling so that Graham wouldn't cancel his trip. Apparently today he was having trouble breathing altogether and other stuff and his neighbour came to visit and found him like that. Called the doctor who said to call the ambulance and they took him in. Graham got home and checked in on his dad and didn't find him there but noticed a discarded oxygen mask. Oh shit. He called the local hospital just as his neighbour was calling him. Anyway he is there and they're looking after him. He's got fluid on the lungs apparently. Was listless and vomiting at one point in the ambulance. Now he could have had pneumonia or I'm concerned it's a heart issue but they did a test last week apparently and that came back clear. I would imagine they'll do more. Graham got to the hospital and had only just got back when i called and he said he dad was looking a little better by the time he left, with a bit more colour. They're keeping him in and putting him in a room and giving him a good going over.
Graham was worried sick of course and also feeling guilty because he just couldn't leave. Of course not!!! I wouldn't expect him to that's for sure and sod the plane ticket. He has to be with his Dad now. Even if his dad gets out of the hospital in a few days, he wouldn't be comfortable coming here. He's better to stay there to keep an eye on him. Don't know how long he'll be in hospital at this point because it only just happened today. His dad is 84 so any illness could be serious. Maybe if things look ok by next week i might be able to book a ticket for myself to go over for a week after Laurie's wedding but that will depend on what kind of fare i can get and at this point it's possible, going through the US. But by Monday it might not work out. We'll see. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. Where he works is difficult to reschedule any vacation time so i don't think he'll be able to change a week to a later month like i could. If he could, perhaps we could squeeze in a week in October, as we're invited to a wedding in Scarborough. I doubt he will be able to though.
Cross your bits that his dad is ok and they can sort out what's wrong with him.
