Sat 7th of May 2011 – Faint

After breaking a rib last friday my dad decided this morning to give me another scare. He became nauseous, passed out with rolling eyes, started shaking and for a moment I thought he had died in my arms. About 10 seconds later he opened his eyes and spoke the legendary words: "I'm fine, I don't need a doctor" after which I immediately called the ambulance and we spent another morning in hospital with Monica and flatmate for support.

After many tests it was decided it was merely a fainting episode and not something serious in itself. I don't want him to travel like this though so I cancelled my work-Barcelona-trip and his flight and we'll be spending some more father-son time this week. I guess I got a reminder today that no-one lives forever -  so far so good.
