One Thing After Another

Just got back from a couple of days in Bromsgrove.
Tuesday night my uncle, who lives up in the Shetlands, rang me in a panic to say they'd just rushed my Pa into hospital with a suspected pulmonary embolism. My youngest son and I burnt rubber down the M6 motorway!
I took Mom for her chemo session, in the same hospital, on Wednesday & spent most of the day popping between the two wards whilst we waited for the results of Pa's tests. and we waited & we waited & then they decided to send him for a CT scan, so we waited for the results of that. Finally I took Mom home as the chemo was beginning to take effect & she needed to rest.
Pa finally got his results at mid-day today. No embolism, they think it's angina & asthma (which he's never suffered from before). The 'good' thing is, his follow up appointment will be in about 3 months so it's not an emergency. They've put him on an inhaler & beta blockers & he's to have a weekly ECG at his GP's surgery.
He got home from hospital at seven tonight, I got home at ten and I'm now off for a good night's sleep
