I didn't get up in time to get to Church this morning as we had a hectic and stressful evening.

At about 5pm dad started getting pain in his eye, that wouldn't ease with drops, so I took him up to casualty - On admittance his blood pressure was over 200 ... Not that they told dad, but I paniced enough for both of us!

To cut a very long story short, his doctor had recently reduced his BP tabs, and now he wasn't having enough. The ECG and urine tests were clear, although the blood tests were showing up some kidney problems, which he is aware of. So, overall good news. The hospital gave him a small extra dose of tablet and it loweredenough for him to come home ... well, via the eye clinic.

That turned out to be ingrowing eye-lashes, so he is now booked in for electrolosys!!!

Anyway - a late and stressful night, leads to sleeoping through the alarm clock!

So, I am here, catching up with LJ, and taking a couple of pics - one of which was for my 366 Day MEME that I am doing.

I also thought I would share this one of Jiffy doing an impression of James!!!!

So glad your Dad is home now. What a scare!

Jiffy has great tongue action. [giggle] So, Jiffy is a Westie. I confess the ears had me confused. He is a charmer.

Happy Sunday.

So glad your Dad is okay. Blood pressure does effect your eyes so happy it was easily figured out what was wrong.

Jiffy is such a cutie and seems to love to have his picture taken.

I missed church this morning too! Which makes me feel all out of sorts. =(

I'm sorry to hear about your stressful evening, but I'm happy to hear they were able to help him. Electrolysis is painful... I've had it done before, and it's not fun. I hope they numb him up, because your eye?? I'm sure they will.

And Jiffy doing an impression of James...he's a natural!

Lucky in a way that they discovered the high blood pressure - that could have gone bad. He had an angel watching over him. :)

Wow, yeah... that's a little bit of excitement, huh? Glad he's doing well now.

Tell Jiffy his impersonation was spot on! ;)
