From joemac on 8/9/2013 9:01:40 AM

As some of you may know, my father of 91 collapsed three weeks back with kidney failure and the brilliance of the paramedic team to deal with this saved him and his kidneys have very slowly come back onto line although the damage is permanent . Well this week he has been moved to a top class care home and he is quite chipper although confused, (he has dimenture ) . He loves the room and the telly and grub and I am pleased for both him, and us at home, it has been an emotional roller coaster.

The aim of this mail is to apologise to anyone I have been tetchy with, it's not easy and very tiring, so now he's settled it's time to chill. For those that did know about all this, my thanks to you for your support, Joe

	buckbybanjoboy says: 8/12/2013 4:32:03 AM Glad to hear it mate. My old man perked up when he went into care. It's as if a load is taken off their minds. Look after him Joe, mine was a right awkward sod near the end but I do miss him. You and Helen take care. Peter V.
