Dad update - stroke

It looks like Dad is having some trouble after his bypass surgery. Mum said he was moving his jaw in a strange way last night and wasn't talking other than indicating yes or no. It was difficult at that point to know what was due to drugs and what might have been other trouble.

Mum was up early to speak to the nurse that was on nights. She suggested he was having some difficulty speaking. Later when everyone spoke to the doctor it was clear they were thinking that he may have had a stroke. It's not at all uncommon, but disconcerting regardless.

They will likely take him in for a CT scan when possible to see if they can learn anything from that. I would be there if my youngest brother could stand the sight of me. I'm a sad boy today.
