He's alive, complains about the neck support being uncomfortable, doesn't want to eat as it's not roast meat, wants to go home and have a beer. I should be really pleased I suppose.

Damn right you should be pleased - that sound a lot better than yesterday 🙂

Just spoken to Mum. She's fine-[i]ish[/i].
Dad is becoming rather aggressive, fights with shadows, tells everybody off.
I'm hoping it's the brain recovering, I really am.
It's going to be a hard night again but it'll be better in the morning. New day, new hope.

Sounds like he's got plenty of life in him 8)

I'm no expert, but I wouldn't worry too much about strange behaviour after what he's gone through. I said some strange things in hospital when I was 14, after a car swung in front of me when I was on my bike - and left me with a fractured skull.

Can't imagine what you're going through but from your post today sounds like he's gonna be fine - really hope so! Take care!

He's swearing all the time, calling everybody names and telling them to f-off, I find it hilarious especially that he never swore, not even once that I could remember. My poor Mum is blushing and apologising to everybody for his behaviour. Good signs according to the doctors.
It's a massive load off my shoulders, will see them in a few days. Thanks for your support!

Really....... a cab driver who's never sworn ? 😯

Well he's obviously got a lot of catching up to do !

Glad to hear that he's on the mend 8)

Spoken to Dad a few minutes ago, he's very weak, much weaker than I hoped he'd be. It's gut-wrenching, really depressing.
I'm crying inside, the sadness is tearing me, can't show it though. Everybody believes I'm the positive one who never gives up, they seem to rely on me being optimistic and saying the right things.
I feel like hitting the bottle, won't as it's pointless. I do believe he'll be fine eventually, it's the bloody feeling of inability to help that's killing me.

Take a while for him to fight back but he'll get there, sounds like he's had a rough time so he will be weak. Best wishes.

It's quite impossible to describe how much all your support means to me, no BS. Thanks a lot.

Glad he's doing well. Have you managed to sort out getting home yet?

Thinking of you all.

Yeah, it's all sorted. Back in Ireland tomorrow but, having actually thought of the whole experience, even 3 days with the folks is worth the hassle.
Time to go back to "serious" issues like tyres and chain oils 🙂
