Sorry I didn't give an update yesterday feeling quite rough when I got back from hospital asmy IBS was playing up.
They're giving him more tablets to bring the heart rate down. I can't spell it but it sounds like Dijoxin. His kidneys seem to be coping better and the breathlessness comes and goes. They are still treating the pneumonia coz thats taking its time. Today (tuesday) they are going to start him on warfarin and they are also going to take him for a scan if he's stronger.
He did manage to eat some soup yesterday which is good as well.

Update on dad and Jessie.
Dad is looking a lot stronger. He is mostly off the oxygen and the cathater has been taken out so thats good. The ct scan shows that part of hislung has collapsed but they think that has happened gradually with the lung cancer. His heart rate has reduced but the rhythm is still out of wack.
Can't remember if Ive mentioned Jessie or not. She's my Jack Russell and she's 13 1/2 years old. On Monday she was having stomach spasms and I took her to the vet. I picked her up yesterday morning and they were happy with her. This morning she woke me having difficulty breathing and her whole body was going into spasms. I took her straight o the vet and her mild heart murmur has turned major very quickly. There was a lot of fluid building up on her lungs. They are doing some tests to see if any of her other organs are damaged and they have given her an injection to release some fluid. I'm going to pick her up on Saturday as the vet said with the next 2 days being BH's and me not being able to drive I would have difficulty getting her in quick if needed.
So I think I've had enough now.

Thanks Rainbow and Lou. Not sure when he's coming home yet, they said it would be a few more days which could be anything. My IBS has just gone haywire and I've not helped by having fish chips and curry sauce for tea. Then I had 2 curry pies that were in the fridge. Why do I still do it. I get upset and the first thing I want to do is eat.

It's only natural to reach for food hun, don't beat yourself up over it, after all (I dunno about you but).. I've been reaching for food for years when I want comfort, therefore you can't break the addiction over night.
Concentrate on your Dad and dog and try and fit in a shop so you can have lots of SW friendly things in the fridge xxx
