Last weekend my father was taken into hospital. He's had Parkinsons for some months and the medication has never quite got it under control. To add to that he had a heart attack about twenty years ago after which a pacemaker was fitted.
The reason for his latest stay in hospital was a urinary infection which was making him hallucinate and talk nonsense.
When I got home from work yesterday (18/04/2019), there was a message on the answering machine from my mum saying the dad had gone down hill and was really not good.
I rang the hospital ward. The phone was answered by someone (I'm guessing a nurse) and I introduced myself and told the nurse that my mother had told me my father was not good and I asked her if his condition was really that serious. She replied "I'm terribly sorry, he's just passed away". I wasn't expecting that!
