Shitting myself for this weekend. Pa Buckley, 78, about 8 years since Parkinson's diagnosis, hip replacement op tomorrow. He's in permanent pain, with referred pain from his hip to his knee. Potential general anaesthetic, which is risky in older people anyway, never mind a person with various health issues.
Taking him in at noon tomorrow, his pipedream of being out same day seems unlikely, but I'm staying local all weekend to get him/visit when needed. Not taking the eldest to Arsenal tomorrow, and then a sub will be watching my phone while I play football locally, on Saturday with ref warned an urgent substitution. Kids' rugby is local Sunday morning so 1 eye on the scrum, one eye on the phone through out.
Once we get home the recovery may the worst. Stubborn old sod wouldn't let me sort a bed downstairs at home and reckons he only has to get updstairs once and do all the recuperation and rehab up there.
Keep 'em crossed for me gang!
Firstly, hope all goes well with Pa @Buckley
Mrs and her friends have hired a house for 40th. Lad and me this weekend.
Fri - Kids club at church, meet other families at local for tea and catch up.
Sat - family fun day at cricket club, it's been hammering it down in NW for days, no idea whether it will happen. Meal with mother, sister and niece (reminds me to book somewhere).
Put son to bed at my mum's. Taxi to Joshua Brooks in Manchester for Danny Tenaglia extended set. Danny is obviously a legend, 'Music is the Answer' is my favourite tune, I hope people tap their feet to it as my box disappears. I have been disappointed before to attend his night when he didnt play house, hopefully Saturday is different
Sunday - catch our first live game of the season, Liverpool at home - been away too much.
Tidy the house for the boss' return![]()
