    Thank you, you are all such wonderful people, I am overwhelmed with all your lovely comments.

    Tonight dad had a bad turn, I called the duty doctor who was here in 15 mins.

    She suspected a mild heart attack but he didn't want to go to hospital for the tests.

    She gave him a large soluble aspirin and left an under tongue spray.

    I think it was a bit of a panic attack as well as I had left him while we had our dinner and he woke up alone.

    He had heard me say I was going to the supermarket Saturday morning and was scared he would die while I was out.

    I do feel so sorry for him, he's so easy and good to look after.

    I am now on a little foam mattress on the floor right next to his bed, and am not going to leave him.

    Oh Lyn I'm sorry he had a bad night. Please look after yourself too. Have you anyone who can sit with him while you shower and get fresh air? Did i read you camcelled the private care? Are you now getting other care teams in? You love your father so much but please please remember to care for yourself.
