Hi all
Thank you for your kindness re my dad. He's had his op. He had a spinal anaesthetic much to my relief because of his asthma. He said that it really hurt him. He was due out tonight but unfortunately he can't pass urine, so they've kept him in.
A close friend of hubby's has died this morning at 1.30 am. I haven't mentioned this openly, as my thread has had a few deaths mentioned in the last few months. As a tribute to this lovely man I felt he should be mentioned. A most wonderful person. We went to see him at the request of his son on Saturday night as he was deteriorating quickly.
However, I made a total idiot of myself. I walked in and was shown into the kitchen where his friend, who I know very well, was sitting with a frame in front of him. I thought oh he's lost so much weight but didn't look as bad as I had expected. So I bent over, gently hugged, kissed him several times in a munchy kiss on his cheek a few times and said see I gotcha! Suddenly the room erupts with laughter, his friends wife was wiping tears off her face of laughter, their grown up children were besides themselves and I was absolutely gobsmacked. I couldn't understand what was so funny? what had I done? Oh yes, a blooper out of all proportion. The man I thought was my hubby's friend was actually, his slightly older brother!!! I was mortified and very embarrassed. However, I styled it out saying, well that's a different way to meet someone. The family were laughing so much.
We went then to see his friend in the next room. I was shocked to the core. I gave him a gentle hug said hello and told him what I'd just done to his brother. Although he couldn't speak, the smile across his face was lovely. Then I told him what a lovely family he'd got and that they were a credit to him. He smiled and nodded. At that point I kissed him again and said I'm going to give you two some time on your own. See you later. I went back in and chatted with the family who still kept smirking now and again. His friends wife said I'm so glad you came tonight. You've cheered us up no end. Hubby came out, very red eyed and mouthed to me, need to go. We couldn't leave. His friends wife was talking nineteen to the dozen to him. I think she needed the company to be honest. She's not in good health herself. She's had two heart attacks.
My hubby is gutted. He got the news about his friend while he was waiting for me to come out of PT. My heart goes out to my husband. He's lost his favourite brother, his brother In law a couple of weeks ago and now a very close friend and he's devastated. He said to me he doesn't feel like he can take much more. He's been very subdued. I'm quite worried about him.
Anyway, back to dad. We are hoping that they will let him out tomorrow if he can manage to pass urine. Otherwise they're going to catheterise him x x
Anyway I'm going now. I will have a bit more time tomorrow. I will catch up properly then. Goodnight all. Thanks so much for the lovely messages about my dad x x x
I shall sleep easier tonight x x x
