Well, my dad's had a stroke. Just a small one, and it almost wasn't noticed at all - apparently he just woke up in the morning and wondered why one side of his face felt different, and didn't even think of mentioning it to the health centre until the next day.
He's been in the hospital over the last couple of days, and has been getting annoyed with people who ask him if he needs help up stairs. The worst bit was when he was taken to have a CT scan and they arrived with a wheelchair to deliver him to it, so he jumped out of bed himself and dashed down the corridor just to show he could.
He has been let out of hospital for the weekend, but still has his armband on, so he's just worried about people thinking that he's an escaped mental patient. He's been prescribed aspirin to keep his blood thin and has had a couple of tests that have been inconclusive, so he's going back to hospital tomorrow.
It's all a bit worrying, but when I phoned home this morning he was still managing to play Civilization on his laptop, and if he can do that on the superhuman difficulty level he usually plays on I don't think he'll have many problems.
