Meant to be going out to celebrate dad's birthday today, after him getting out of hospital on Tuesday. This morning, mum was admitted with pneumonia and everything is cancelled. She thinks it's her fault, so she's even more upset and dad is spending his birthday in the hospital after all.

Hope they both make a break for it soon and can enjoy a small glass of sherry for belated celebrations.

So dad will likely take himself off for a pint or two

Made sure she's got snacks and her charger, as well as pyjamas, underwear, etc.

My mum just got out after spending 57 days in hospital for a stroke.

Mum is not the most patient of people, so being stuck in hospital is going to drive her mental. Hopefully, they'll send her home tomorrow, if antibiotics can sort it
