Thanks @Adge ... yes I do like your giraffe photo ... very much. When I say we miss and rely on our furbabies so much, I should also add that our feathered friends are pretty awesome as well. I have budgies myself, keep them in a large outdoor aviary. Nothing like your lovely collection, but they are still beautiful. I often go in there and some of them come up and settle themselves on my arm or my shoulder. Really sweet they are. I know you would still be really feeling your recent big loss. My heart goes out to you.
Heading off to bed soon, so will say good night @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @Shaz51 and others. Its been quite an upsetting and worrying afternoon and evening for me and hubby here. Its related to our upcoming WA trip to visit hubbys family, including his dad. Hubby has a younger brother in WA too, who has bipolar. Diagnosed many years ago, after first thinking it was scizophrenia. Sadly he has wound up in hospital in Perth tonight, after being transferred from his small country hospital an hour East of Perth. He remains in ICU. Been difficult to obtain information so far, and unable to speak to him personally. Really dont have a great deal of information other than that he apparently had a fall last night, was on the floor for many hours and was only discovered late this arvo. Seemingly his kidneys have shut down from being on the floor for so long? He will therefore be on dialysis for 24 hours. We dont even know what injuries he has at this stage, but there must be something more we dont know about. The dont keep you in the major city hospital's ICU for that. I guess our upcoming trip is timely in more regards than just to visit his very elderly and frail Dad. Hubby is really concerned, as am I. Had thought something was wrong when we did not get his usual daily phone call. And when we tried to ring him, there was no answer. We'd put it down to the likelihood that he was in Perth to visit his dad, as he does once a fortnight. But no ... it sounds like he was probably lying on the floor in his small flat, in serious trouble. Hoping to get more info tomorrow. He has been really looking forward to our upcoming visit. Hope he hasnt gone and done something silly.
