Thanks for the good wishes folks.
Went to visit him today - a five hour round trip. He's in the rehab unit now and with any luck will be home by the middle of next week. He had a stroke a couple of years back and this looks like a seizure following on from that point, which will mean more medication and monitoring. He's making a decent recovery - he's not quite firing in all cylinders, but pretty good. He's to have another brain scan Monday to decide whether it was a stroke or a seizure, and the occupational therapist wants to make sure he's able to make tea and toast as part of the monitoring of the recovery process. Dad is indignant. Of course he can he says! It's tough for him. Having to give up driving for good is the hardest thing he'll have to come to terms with as he recovers, and I can see a lot of angst and grumping about that over the next few weeks.

Vanessa - bum on the card cloning. Might it have happened at a petrol station? They're renown for being dodgy.

Wishing your dad a speedy recovery, EC. It sounds like he is being well looked after. I remember the tea and toast thing from when a relative of mine was in hospital a few years ago.

Update on my father: I talked to him today, he says the doctor told him he has 3 to 6 months left. Sigh
