It's 7.30am and it's been a quiet Friday night, I woke up at just gone 11pm so thought I would go and check on dad and he was sleeping peacfully.
(By the way I forgot to add on yesterday's blog when he woke during Thursday night he had complained of feeling dizzy when I mentioned it to the nurse he said it could be because he's anemic.)
I then woke again at just gone midnight and other then having kicked his bedclothes off he was still sleeping peacefully so I covered him back up without waking him and the next time I went to him was at 4am when I got up and he was still as I had left him earlier, I don't know why and I know I shouldn't complain as I also get some sleep but these sort of nights worry me I guess it's because now these aren't what we call normal nights and expect to be called or if we check on him he's awake of something but when he's actually just laying there quietly it worries me...Going to have another cup of coffee so more later!
Early afternoon 13.50.
The family said I could go out and have some time to myself for a while so I went and did a bit of shopping in Hull for a few hours on the way back I passed a strawberry field that is a "pick your own" so thought I would stop and pick some for tea and have strawberry flan and icecream.
When I got home they told me dad had been asleep all morning and when we went to see what he wanted for lunch he said he didn't want anything and would have something later. I've kept checking on him and he's been asleep ever since, told you earlier that he's seems to be sleeping way too much with last night and now today.
Below is a photo I took of dad after we had given him his wash and shave this morning if it look like he's asleep already he isn't as the photo I took after this he looked at the camera for me...
There might be an update later after the nurse has been.
