Friday

Eldest has been hiding away at my parents this last week or so trying to finish her dissertation for Uni away from any distraction and today I was to pop over in the afternoon to give it a proofread for her.

Two things got in the way, the first being she had found an issue with some of it prompting a big re write of a whole chapter along with editing some of the others affected by that, hence it still isn't finished although I went over the bits that were and gave an approving nod :-)

The second thing was that before I arrived, Dad's legs gave way again leaving him knocked, bruised and shaken. This is from his botched back operation last year and has been happening quite a bit recently. They have been leaving messages with Salford Royal and Southport hospitals to try and get an appointment but to no avail. A call to 111 was fruitless so Mum took him to A&E at our local.hospital where he spent several hours having his new bruises looked at before finally getting someone to listen & digest last year's goings on.

Blip is Peggy Sue staring at their front door missing him already. Doggos know when something is amiss.

I took some things up for him at teatime after they decided to keep him in overnight to do an MRI scan and contact Salford Royal who did last year's operation. The day was fraught to say the least and at the end of it a long soak was followed by reading a few percent of an ebook to try to calm Brain down for sleep (didn't help)
