Well what can I say. After yesterday's post, two visits to hospital in two days, poor Dad black and blue after falling twice, he is talking very coherently!! He actually asked me if I could get him two of his favourite tea cakes and described then in detail, with ham and pickle then asked how my son was. I nearly fell off my chair. Considering he can not normally string a sentence together and what he does say makes no sense, it was a jaw dropping moment. Once again on returning from the NH I google to see what comes up. Some of it not happy reading I hasten to add. What an incredibly difficult journey this illness is for all family members. I just hope that he is able to retain happy memories of his previous life before becoming ill. X
