An apple a day...

...keeps the doctor away. If only!!

Day 43: Unbeknown to me, yesterday tests revealed Dad had developed an infection. Nobody told me. Today Consultant said they were waiting on further tests to establish whether it was infection from Tuesday's surgery or the knee wound. She said things were serious and given Dad's weakend state it was 50/50 as to whether or not he could fight off the infection. I sat with Dad for seven hours, most of which he slept, but for the last hour he perked up and I managed to tempt him with some chocolate and an apple.

Left home at 11am, home at 7.15pm. Too tired to cook, supper is a glass of wine and an ice cream.

Thank you so much for all your kind stars and hearts for yesterday's stormy seagull.
