LOOKING AFTER MY GORGEOUS 88 YO DAD THIS SUNDAY...!~

Well my wonderful/gorgeous 88 yo dad took a bit of a "tumble" this past week...

He has had TWO NEW KNEES replaced over the past 2 years, and was doing wonders...~~

Swimming 3 kms EVERY morning...DOING all THE BIG BAY swims in MELBOURNE over summer..PIER TO PUB etc...(he is THE LEGEND!!)...

BUT he fell over a little step into a business here in our town..this past Tuesday..

& fell heavily on one knee...

BROKEN his patella...(knee cap...sliced in half...per X RAY.)..

SO dad is prostate....RIGHT LEG STIFF in a brace...staying with ME..(& rest of family)..

This is for 6 weeks...!!!~~  so NO swimming..no driving..NO NOTHING for DAD~~

Hopefully the knee will bind/mend...otherwise a BIG OPERATION...hope this doesn't need to happen again at his age....

So i am busy looking after dad..(he eats like a horse!!  thats good)....

 He is lazing around on the couch!!~

ps..the sad thing is I had dad booked to attend my eldest sons graduation in 2 weeks....interstate.

dad cannot go...

& he cannot tend his big veggie patch...

Oh well....as i said ...he could have hit his head and been soo much worse off??

~~  xxx dad
