Bit Upset

Got a phone call from my grandad before, he was bringing my dad and brother home from me brother's rugby training, apparently my dad had some sort of fit in the car. He used to have epilepsy but was told YEARS ago that is had gone, so he has been having like these funny turns all the time in work, it's like everything goes white and he goes dizzy and get's a headache, he went to the doctor and got told there was nothing to worry about and it was fine.

Same thing continues to happen, so after a few weeks he goes back and get's told that the funny turns are nothing to worry about and it's down to stress, and now this happens. But the funny turns have got worse, for example he came home from work today and went a funny colour. I'm just worried about him, and my mum is down at the Royal with him now so I'm waiting to see what happens, I hope it's nothing bad and my mum is gonna have to stay off work tonight now because he'll probably be in overnight.

Awww :hugs: I'm sorry to hear that... looks like there was some serious misdiagnosis from your dad's doctor! I don't know much about epilepsy (I thought it was the type of thing that is never cured :confused: ) but I'm no doctor :redface: Anyway, I hope your dad gets better soon :smile:

So do I. He seems to be recovering now, my mum phoned before and he is in a stable condition but he is eager to come home! He hates hospitals, and just wants to be in his own bed but it looks like he will be in overnight.
