maybe left this a bit too late :(
with one thing and another i have probably left this too late
all i ask for is positive thoughts for tomorrow
my godfather was rushed into hospital 3 weeks ago with a suspected stroke
it has since been dx'd as a brain bleed,a stroke and fluid around his heart
last week he accidently swallowed his 1 false tooth which led to complications as it tore his gullet and was lodged 8inches down his food pipe
they had to operate to repair the tear and retrieve his tooth
it was a risky operation as he is so weak
they did this at the weekend
he's been on life support since and they have twice attempted to take him off it
the last time being this morning when he had a heartattack and had to be ressusitated (sp?)
tomorrow all his family are gonna be at his bed side at 10am and they are gonna try again to get him off the life support
have really bad feeling that he won't make it as he's so ill plus with his age (in his 80s)
i feel so helpless as i am so far away
further away than usual as my new job is up in the highlands so i'm at least a 6 hours drive away
karen is being my rock just now but she is finding it hard as she has her own stuff to worry about
please can you send your positive thoughts to my godfather that he will get through this
many thanks

we are all furious with the dr's
cos the operation had gone well they resuscitated him on monday
they are not doing anything now apart from change his pain meds to morthine and try to build him up with a feed tube
he's still sedated and basically in a vegative state which he will probably stay in for the rest of his life
the dr's don't care about his state of life as long as they are happy with the operation that he shouldn't of had if they had remembered to take his tooth out after he had finished eating so he wouldn't swallow it!
i hope my godmother and her family take the hospital to the cleaners about it!
i haven't slept for god nows how many nights now
i'm struggling to concentrate at work
i'm homesick and missing karen badly
i'm having bad flashbacks from when i was in ICU with the pyscho nurse
can't handle much more of this _________________ I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here.

If you can't sleep, what else can you do to let your body rest? what takes up your concentration; reading, tv, film, bath, lie in bed with radio on (I find classic fm calm enough to put me to sleep!!), is there any exercise you camn do to get rid of the tension; swim or walk?? I don't know what to suggest. (bl**dy NHS!) _________________ .............................................................
