Swings & Roundabouts

It's been a mixed week just gone, though fortunately things are settling down now. Last weekend my mum fell ill, and then early monday morning my dad had a heart attack. This was a bit worrying since his father died of a heart attack at about the same age. Luckily the health care system here is pretty on to it and so he was able to have heart surgery on wednesday morning. The operation went well and he was released thursday night—apparently this is normal with the microsurgery they do these days. They stick a tube with tools and mini cameras up a leg artery and work on the heart from the inside. However, he had a regression on saturday and was back in hospital, though it just appears to have been a reaction to the drugs. This morning he seems well, so we'll see how we go.

How awful! I hate it when parents are ill, there is something just not right about it - like they should be invincible.

I hope everyone is well on the mend now.
