Me old Dad

[amberdreams]

Herewith an extract from me Pa's first Skype call on his iPad. He did have it propped up on a table in the spare bedroom where Mum had sent him to take the call, but there were too many reflections from the window, so it's on his lap. Hence the weird angle. Oh and this is after he nearly fell over trying to sit down in the chair which was farther behind him than he expected.

The other voices you hear are me and my Mum - I probably sound really loud as I always have to shout or they can't hear me. Ha ha ha!
Apologies for all the boring chat about travel arrangements.

I'm so sorry to hear that, it's a real worry. Did the crack to his head cause the nerve damage or was it the cause of the fall? I hope he sees a neurologist soon. I watch my uncle walk along with his stick and I'm amazed he doesn't fall more often.

now you're asking - I don't know. He was getting more and more unbalanced before the header downstairs but that was one hell of a fall so...they did tell him initially he'd broken his neck but then decided he hadn't. It's definitely affected him mentally though, he's lost words and a lot of his oomph.

Oh bless him, that was one nasty fall if he almost broke his neck. And it sounds like one of those chicken and egg situations as to which came first.
