Dad

Got a call to say Dad had fallen in the shower again, and split his head open.
Went to Redditch hospital, in a little bit of snow, and had to wait 4 hours for him to be seen. We went well prepared this time, with sandwiches cake and magazines, and dad was fine for the first hour, eating cake whistling, drinking coffee, but obviously got more and more agitated and angry. Eventually the security guard locked us in a private room!! Not really the solution we were hoping for. Not least because quick treatment would have prevented the problem but also because locking dad in a room only makes him worse. Eventually he was glued, and we took him back. He was very glad to be back at Hawthorns, and the staff were lovely as always.Read more
