... Is where my Dad is unfortunately.

He was admitted ther on Monday after suffering a minor heart attack. He saw his GP on Sunday after feeling ill with chest and arm pains and, thanks to his perception, suspected something was wrong and admitted him to hospital.

He's recovering at the moment and looks to be discharged on Monday, though if things keep going well he could be out on Friday. Obviously, he won't be back to normal for a while afterwards though.

No one though this was going to happen to him at this time. This comes as quite a wake up call to me, Mum and Dad. I have a feeling quite a lot is going to change when he is discharged.

There's an idiom I hear occasionally, though in different contexts to the one in this journal. 'Adding Insult to Injury.' For Dad, this idiom is reversed. The attack he had is the injury, the fact that he's going to be in hospital on his birthday and possibly on Fathers day is the insult. It seems to be a trait that runs in our family. For three years this kind of thing has happened. From falling in plush hotels on Wedding Anniversaries to being severly ill while off work. I wonder what's going to happen next...

Anyway, all that's important right now is that Dad is recovering and he'll be out soon. That's good enough for me.



I know this may seem like a pointless rant to some, but I feel better about things now that I have written this. It helps me see things in a different way and helps me feel more comfortable about what has happened. Rest assured, for those who give two damns about my updates, this won't slow me down. There are still pages being made and tutorials constructed as I said.
