Dad

Jo and her Dad holding hands.

Jo and I went to visit Dad after I finished work today. Jo spent most of the morning with him. I just wanted to drop by, hold his hand, hug him and give him a kiss on the head.

He wasn't so good tonight. We got there and he was running a temperature. His hands which have always been cold to touch were very hot. The RN gave him some panadol which worked very quickly to bring his temperature down. Not surprising really, he is skin and bone.

The nurses changed and turned him. He was exhausted after that and pretty much went straight to sleep. The problem was he had Jo's hand in a vise like grip. It took her a while to prise her hand from his.

We left him for the night.

I am tired. Work is busy, enjoyable and takes my mind of Dad.
