My father's state of health is a worry to say the least. He had a knee replacement operation about eighteen months ago and is now experiencing a lot of pain in the area. Of course whatever is causing it, might have nothing to do with the new joint. The doctor said that the symptoms led him to consider the possibility of a slight fracture so off he went to the local hospital for an X-Ray. There's no fracture but deeper appraisal of the image and other investigations are now on the cards.
I look at dad sometimes when he's asleep and realise how much he has aged recently. He's eighty-four and in many respects isn't doing too badly but I find it all rather depressing. My mother died last August after a long period of ill health and since then I've had
some respite from various worries. I just hope that dad isn't now declining.
DanaC has written a beautiful poem to her Dad and reads it in a video in the

I don't have her skill with words but I can appreciate her writing.
