Lockdown

Warning... too much information ahead... I've been asked how dad is, and I can honestly say, I don't know.  The care home has been under lockdown this past week due to a gastro outbreak.  (Oh yes... there is no dignity in old age.)  Well, I can tell you that he is unaffected by it, as it is confined to the ground floor and he's up on the first floor (or second floor if you're North American!).  Seems strange to not have visited him... and I worry a bit as I know he likes the reassurance of me visiting.  When I visited last Saturday, he was sleepy and he was slurring his speech.  A couple of days prior to that, he was sparky and ate his entire meal, to the point where I asked him if he wanted to lick the plate clean.  That got a smile out of him.  Here's hoping the lockdown lifts soon... though it is now long overdue.  I have to run across the city for class, so must dash or I'm about to be late!
