My husband walked by the bedraggled bouquet of tulips on the kitchen counter and said, "I didn't know tulips were blue on the inside."
So I felt better immediately, thinking that my delay in disposing of the flowers was a little bit educational!
Just a quick post. My father, active and healthy as a horse, suffered a mild heart attack on Friday and I've been preoccupied with that and with the marking for end of term. I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts - I'll be back in a week or so.
My father is spending the weekend in hospital while waiting for some tests early in the week. He's quite bored and chafing to be back at home, so that's a very good sign.
Back to the marking...accompanied by tea and the lovely scent of lilacs.
Sorry to hear about your dad but glad he is being well cared for...
ReplyDeleteOh I am sorry to read this, but very happy that he is getting good care. Things have come a long way in cardiac care. (My dad had a heart attack at age 60. He's 86 now.)
ReplyDeleteNow I never knew that tulips were blue inside either!
I'm sorry to hear about your dad, Lorrie, and wish him a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteHi Lorrie,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your father but so glad to know he is doing better.
Sending hugs and prayers to you,
Poppy
I hope and pray your father makes a full and speedy recovery. His drive to get back home is a sign of a robust soul!
ReplyDeleteTake care, Lorrie.

Oh Lorrie, I'm so sorry your father had a heart attack, but I'm happy and relieved to hear he is doing fine now. I totally agree with Vee about the progress made in cardiac care. My MIL had a heart attack (a really bad one) when she was 59, and she's 77 now; it's really amazing. I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers, and good luck with your grading.

ReplyDeleteLove and hugs x
My Dad had a heart attack about 20 years ago and is still going strong, there are so many things and medications available these days. Hope all goes well, you are all in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your Dad, I will be prayerfully thinking of you both, I do hope there will be no further complications and a full recovery.
ReplyDeleteThat must be a worry for you all, Lorrie. I do hope all will go well. You will be in my prayers.
ReplyDeletePrayers for your dad Lorrie and for you. Take care.

I hope that all will be well for your Dad. Sending all good thoughts and hugs to you both. xx
ReplyDeleteThinking of your dear dad Lorrie and wishing him a speedy recovery. Cardiac care has made huge strides in the past few years it seems - hopefully his problem will be addressed, and with TLC, perhaps meds. and continuing with exercise and healthy eating (which it sounds like he already followed), he'll be "up and at 'em" again very, very soon.
ReplyDeleteTake care and know you are in our thoughts too.
Hugs - Mary
