We were all gathering for a family party at a hotel. Dad arrived separate to me & mom. We didn’t see him. He was complaining of being unwell. Brother drove him home. Bro then called me with his symptoms. I immediately told him to call an ambulance. That was it. Stroke.

So I’ve just popped home now to get a few things for him, and I can see his photo and his favourite mug. His mug has Penfold on it from Dangermouse. Dad looks just like him. It made my cry seeing this stuff.pic.twitter.com/0bWoJ3hsfN

It’s mom as well I have to care for. She’s really, really unwell. And now she’ll have to care for dad... I’m just sad right now. This is life. Things come. Old age, illness. Life. I love him. He doesn’t understand what has happened. Wants to leave the hospital. My heart

Tonight, in the midst of this pain, I’ve sat with my family and drank wine (I never drink) and shared my art (I never tell them about my life) and laughed and tell them that I love them love them (I have never done this). Something beautiful came out of this day.pic.twitter.com/KbdRMWp07W

Dad - I love you. I know that you have a long, slow journey back from where this stroke but I am with you every step of the way. You will do it. I am your daughter, 100%pic.twitter.com/qrJkjiKMbh

I'm sorry. Get some sleep to rest. Bring your phone tomorrow. There'll be a lot to take in with scans and jargon. Recording what the docs say can help avoid confusion and can reassure you. As a dr, I wouldn't mind it. Mum is a patient here too, as are you. Reach out to friends
