Thank you so much Mumma Bear - your love and care means so much to me 💖 I am hoping to be a little better tomorrow to be able to go in and see Dad before his procedure on Friday. I had planned to do that today after work and before I could pick up Clover but won't be able to now. I will call him later though when I am hopefully feeling a little better. Plenty of Toby cuddles today @Owlunar
I will catch up on your other posts when I can - but sending you my love for what I have already read 💖💖💖

Always here when I can be @Zoe7
I have things to do now and must have some breakfast -
There is plenty of love - love is one of those things that there is more of the more we use it
Concussion takes a little time to recover - a headache goes with the territory -
You will be in my thoughts today

Was feeling a little better until I had to get up and go out @Owlunar I have been to the chemist though and picked up Clover from the vet so I have a few hours before I have to take Toby back also. The whole staff there were very concerned as I called from hospital yesterday to cancel Toby's appointment then my sister also called to do the same (I did not know that until later). So it seems everyone knew why I had to cancel yesterday but it does also show what wonderful people we do have in this world. It is not the first time I have seen such care and compassion from the people at my vet clinic but further re-enforces just how lovely they all are.
Thankfully, for the moment, the banging next door has stopped so I am going to take advantage of that and lay down while I can. Will let you know how Toby goes later if I am able to.

Hi @Zoe7
I have been working down the list - and finally found you - I'm glad I did.
That headache might be around for a short while - I hope it's not long - I had a slight concussion last year - my nose v. a taxi door when I was getting in - not what I intended of course - so I get it - skull v. skull would be harder - in both senses of the word - ouch.
I'm glad the banging stopped - you didn't need that right then - it does happen though - mm - I'm sorry that had to happen right then
The people at the vet sound wonderful - I have found vets splendid people - it's great to have that support. I hope you little family is okay with all this happening to them - both at the same time - and you have a bad headache - and don't feel well yourself -
I am sending my best love and care - and know you Dad is having a procedure day after tomorrow - your plate is full - it's not easy and you are much loved
Best wishes

Hi @Zoe7
Yes - this is a time for you to take it easy - science about head injuries has gone ahead in leaps and bounds. It will take time and it's great you are keeping calm.
I will be thinking about your Dad too - both of you truly
And your little furkids - I hope they are getting better.
All my best wishes

Dad is in ICU now @Owlunar but I spoke to him today and he is doing a little better (as far as he can be anyway). Hopefully tomorrow's surgery will help a lot and he can recover quickly.
I still have a headache and some nausea on and off but have been resting all day. My fur babies have kept me warm LOL They are super snuggly at the moment - animals have such a wonderful sense of when things are not quite right.
Going to go to work tomorrow - more so the kids can see I am okay. No doubt they will wrap me in cotton wool (and give lots of hugs) but I am going to make it an easy day for us all.

Hi @Zoe7
I have been thinking about you and your Dad all day - yes - I know you most likely don't feel like posting and there is no need to comply - just take you time and let your emotions flow around as they will - you have had a rough week.
You were going to school today - to give the kids an easy day and let them see you are okay - I hope that went well -
Again - my best thoughts and a big but gentle hug from
Mumma Bear

Dad is on his way home @Owlunar but I don't think he should be - he should still be in hospital. I picked him up and brought him to my place to wait for Mum to pick him up. She wanted to get an ambulance so I don't know how they are going to cope at home together. I really can't think about that now though - I need rest myself as I have been out 4 times today. I had my psych appointment this morning then in to visit Dad (but had to go back as it was not visiting hours -was told the wrong time 😔). Then back to pick Dad up. I am exhausted and have a headache. I made the mistake of letting my Mum know and she 'told' me to get it seen to - when all I need is rest and not to be running around everywhere. So that is what I am going to do now - rest.

HI @Zoe7
Yes - you need to rest - you have had it seen to and all this running around makes it harder to recover.
I've been doing the same thing - needing to take it easy with my shoulder but running around getting my burn dressed - it's recovering now - all of this takes time and energy we don't always have.
Your Dad had a procedure yesterday and they set him free today with your mother not well either - I guess if they felt they couldn't cope they could have asked for another day - still - hospitals - I understand - they would want to go home
You won't stop wondering though - and feeling the stress of all of this - and I really get it - one thing at a time is enough - but we have these things happen.
Sending best thoughts as always
