Father Report

Since many of you have e-mailed me or added comments asking about my father's condition, here's what I can say - he had a series of small strokes about two months ago, and is in a rehabilitation hospital trying to recover the use of his left side. His spirits are good, although being confined to a wheelchair and needing help with simple things is a blow to the pride of someone who has always been very active. All things considered, he's doing well for a man of his age and what he's been through. Thank you all for your concern, and please continue to keep Dad in your thoughts.

One of these days I'll learn to read everything before I respond to anything. Thanks for the update.

Its good to hear from you and of course get the weekly dose of Cartoon Saturday.

I'm sure your presence will lift your father's spirits even more. Have an enjoyable weekend with your dad. Does he know about Cartoon Saturday??

Sounds like he's fighting his way through this.

I'm thinking of you and your dad, Bilbo :-)

I liked the cartoon Saturday with the bulk sized 'Chaw' :-)
We are only just stepping a toe into the world of bulk shopping here in the UK.
I was bemused by the bulk shopping ethos when we visited Canada - huge packets of everything...
