I thought it was high time I attempted to update my journal, since it's been some days. You'll have to excuse any odd phrasing or hilarious Freudian typos as I'm recovering from a crazy fever I've had the past few days 
The news on my dad's health has been excellent although completely mad at the same time. In my last journal I mentioned he'd woken up and had some semblance of his faculties. Well over the past few days his progress has been amazing. He's insisted on standing up and walking. Yesterday Mum came back and been told how he ordered the physio's to bring him an excercise bike which he's been pedalling like mad.
His behaviour has not been so good. Mum's absolutely distraught at the way he orders the staff around and directly disobeys their requests. He's behaving like an 8 year old. It's totally insane when you realise he's a figure of authority in a massive company in charge of hundreds of staff. It hurts me to see him not being the rational and sensible Dad I love and respect... I do believe it has something to do with one of Dad's visitors letting slip just HOW LONG he's been in ICU... His mind set is to completely get out at HIS PACE at any cost..
I've been far too ill to risk going to see him since thursday. I've had the worst stomach upset and the feeling of chronic indigestion ever. The people who've seen the effects reckon I could have contracted it on the ward under my already fatigued condition. When he pulled out of his sedated condition it was like a deflated balloon. All the adrenaline I was running on seemed to fizzle out and I'm feeling pretty low at the moment. I've cheered myself up recently though by buying the Black Books 3 disc box set which did the trick. Great stuff! I can recommend it heartily!
Overall I think my rollercoaster of a month seems to be nearing an end with as much a positive conclusion as you could expect. Dad's getting much better (at the utter outrage of the staff
) I'm feeling temporarily worse, but I think I'm almost out of the woods. Mum's been trooping through all kinds of horrors in my abscence, for which she needs some sort of bleedin' medal. I'm going to make sure she never forgets just how much all her work has meant to all of us. At this rate, Christmas is back on and it's going to be a big-'un! 
Just sent off for this beast to cheer myself up again. Should be arriving any day soon!
I hope all of you out there reading this self-indulgent twaddle are in fine health. I promise to pop by your journals very soon!!! Big hugs and hearty handshakes to all of you!

I'm so sick of politics. I just want them all to die. Horribly.
Except Bill Clinton.
