General Chat

We were awoken this morning by Fred's continued groaning.

He would not wake or respond to me so I called an ambulance.

The para-medics did all the tests and he responded a bit but they took him off to hospital.

The carers arrived with the ambulance and they got him ready.

Once they had rolled him he was alert enough to grab the bed rails to steady himself as he usually does and the para-medics said that he was supporting himself in their chair and did not need to be held up.

I, of course, am running through the worst case scenario but they were saying that he might just need stronger antibiotics and that this infection could well have knocked him back a long way.

His mate is going to the hospital with him as he lives nearby and I think he would rather have his partner in crime with him than the fat controller!

I will keep you posted.

Sharron - I hope that the hospital can get Fred sorted, you must be worried sick, fingers crossed he will soon be back home and getting on with with his daily chores <3

Oh Sharron,,
Do hope they soon sort his meds out and get him back to his normal self.
Thinking of you xx <3 <3

Thank you.

I have always tried to keep real and remember that he is 94 and that is not something everybody achieves.

I am ridiculously calm at the moment.

Sharron I do hope he gets sorted soon and gets back to his grumbling self soon.
Will be thinking of you <3

Thoughts are with you and Fred. xxx <3

Oh dear. I hope Fred will improve in the hospital and be back to causing mayhem before too long. Such a worry for you Sharron....... big hugs this morning.
Thinking also of Fred's friend too. He is sure to be upset so hope he copes OK.

Hospital have just rung and he is much more responsive now.

Sharron, best wishes to Fred. I hope that they can sort him out, sounds as if the chest infection needs stronger meds. Yes he is 94 and he has done so well (as have you) but he has been well until now and the hope is that, with help from the hospital, he will continue to be so. As you say though you/we need to be realistic (but Fred is stubborn and so can you/we be and hope for the best).

I hope you have good news for us when you hear from the hospital. <3

Sorry to hear this, Sharron. I hope Fred is feeling much better soon.

Take care of yourself.

Sharron so sorry that Fred is not feeling to good ,
get well wishes are winging they way to him, x

Wishing Fred well and back home soon.
Be kind to yourself Sharron :-) <3

I am so sorry to hear about Fred. I can understand your anxiety but remember at the moment things are out of your hands. I hope that he will continue to improve and will soon be back home with you. Please keep us posted. Hugs and warmest wishes to you too.

Look after yourself Sharron.

Hope Fred feels better soon <3

I have rung the hospital.

His mate is there with him. He is responding to them well, alert now.

They were just awaiting the results of his blood test.

poor Fred probably got worn out getting the bus the other day (after the hospital stuff-up).

I hope you and Fred (and Fred's mate) feel better soon.

<3

Am very sorry to read this Sharron. Hoping things will improve for him and you a.s.a.p. As Paula & Island say, take care of yourself too.

Pleased Fred is responding well - hopefully he will be allowed home so he and his mate can get on with their daily shenanigans :-D

Sorry to hear of this set-back, but the news that Fred is now more alert is encouraging.

I hope they sort out suitable medications really quickly, so that he can get back to his old self.

Thinking of you.
