Sorry about the news but glad he got treatment quickly which we are told regularly is important
FAST (Face, Arm, Speech, Take action).
However what is this about getting ready for work? I think your father is older than me.

Glad your dad seems to be doing so well. A friend of mine had a stroke about a year ago, and it damaged the sight in one of his eyes. Not his prominent I mean, dominant eye, luckily (I had never heard of that term, but he explained it). Otherwise he was just fine.
But another friend's husband had a stroke in his early 40s and was disabled from then on. He's up and about now, 20 years later, and can carry on a conversation, but for a long time he couldn't walk or speak in full sentences. He was an architect, and never worked again.

Hiya BetterMost friends.
Mom is currently at the hospital with dad, and I'll be going up in a few minutes to join them. When I spoke to mom this morning, she said that a physical therapist was scheduled to see dad today to do an assessment, and we'll have more information at that point.
Brian, dad turned 80 in January. He retired from his job on the railroad in his mid 60s, but retirement only lasted a few months. He was getting bored and depressed, so he found a job as a crossing guard. He works from 7:00 - 9:30 in the mornings, and 2:30-4:00 in the afternoon, each school day. He is off holidays, weekends and the summer.

Hiya BetterMost friends.
Happy Friday to everyone!!!
;D
I just got the call from mom, dad's blood pressure has dropped, and the doctors are releasing him today. I'm just waiting for the phone call that they are ready to be picked up.

All the best to your Dad on his recovery!
