Trying To Fit It In!

"Yield not to evils, but attack all the more boldly." - Virgil
The Home phone rung at 4am...
(Lifeline had phoned the Paramedics, as my dad had pressed the button, and wasn't answering the phone)
My hubby went round to meet the paramedics, my younger brother arrived an hour later.The urine infection is making my dad confused. He was told to start drinking more water, he he don't he will go back into hospital...
Hubby came back and joined me back in the warm bed.
I got up later on as I needed a cup of tea.
