Hello my lovely friends.....really sorry for being quiet this week....but my lovely lovely Pop was admitted to hospital on Tuesday, after suffering a Stroke :o(
Thankfully, it was not as bad as we originally thought......he can now communicate with us like normal and his mind etc is working fine......the problem he has is his legs they just are not working in the way they should so he is going to have to have lots of physio to get them working again, but the hospital are positive that things will get back to normal, its just going to take some time........ He is leaning to left too now, but they say that all that can be corrected with some physio too :o)......
The hardest part has been being so far away from him.....its a 6 hour round trip, and with him being at work when it happened they took him to Chester Hospital, so its not near to his home for us to stay there......but they are hoping that when he is discharged that he can come and stay with us so that he has round the clock help. The trouble is trying to convince my Pops, cos he just doesn't want to be a burden....but I would rather have him at home with me than have strangers look after him.....not that they wouldn't do a good job, but he is my Pop and I want to do it.
It has come as such a shock when that phone call came as you never think its going to happen to your own Pops.....but I am just thankful that it was not any worse than it was, because some of the poor souls that were on his ward just didn't seem to know what was going on......it was heartbreaking :o)......
It really has been one of those months really, we had a funeral to go to yesterday, Leigh's......lovely Uncle Colin, plus this week it was a year since we lost our lovely Billy boy......and then my Mum has been tooing and froing from the hospital too this week for more medical appointments as she has another op next week on her breast.....thankfully this time its just to make both of them look the same from when she has the Cancer removed last year....but still, it's still an op and still carries it risk....so all in all I shall be glad when November is over..... :o(
On a lighter note LOL......just want to let everyone know who has ordered stamps recently that they have all been posted out now....so hopefully they will be with you all shortly :o).......thanks so much to everyone who as bought some.....I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel LOL......the big pile is going down LOL. I shall keep them updated on the For Sale page for anyone who still wants some.
I have got crafty things to share, as prior to hearing about my Pops, I had been planning on blogging a few things....so I will share those with you soon.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends....hope that you all have a wonderful day with your friends and family :o)

I'm so sorry to hear the news of your dear Pops stroke, Tab. There is so much more knowledge these days about how our complicated brains work that I'm sure with support and physio he'll sooon be back to normal.

So sorry to hear about your Pops, but hopefully he'll get home soon. I know exactly what its like - my Dad had a massive stroke very unexpectedly 8 weeks ago and sadly passed away after 2 weeks in hospital. Like you say, you never think it will happen to your family.
Sorry to hear you're having such a hard time. I wish you and your family the best and hope everything takes a turn for the better soon.
Hugs Kim
I'm so sorry Tab -- thinking good thoughts for your Pops. I lost my own father almost 9 years ago & some days I still can't believe it -- I remember the phone call like it was yesterday. And my grandma was just transferred to a nursing home after many weeks in the hospital, they think she had a stroke so I am right there with you, feeling the helplessness -- big hugs to you!!
Michelle
Aw hun sorry to hear all your bad news, hoping all goes well and from December its much better for you, hugs Liz xx
Oh Tab, it must have been an awful shock for all but I'm glad to hear 'Pop' isn't as bad as first thought. Sending lots of love to help you cope. Julie x
