My Dad had a fall at home, probably Friday night. He doesn't really remember. He managed to knock out a tooth, and break his shoulder and fracture his pelvis. Ouch.
We were very worried, as we were unable to reach him. He wasn't found until Sunday morning, thus having spent two nights on the basement floor. I was so deeply worried I can't describe it.

So, he's in a hospital, and eating well and is much more alert. What a horrible experience for him. This is also going to mean a few months of rest and recuperation, and physiotherapy, and a change in his living situation.

Looking after ageing parents is a huge responsibility, and one which most of us people in 'the west' don't really think about. Until something like this happens.

I'm so glad he's on the mend.

Thanks for the flickr love, everyone!
