    USB Dad

    Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

    OK, so things have change since my previous posting claimed. My Dad is still having some problems with his sense of rhythm, but then Dad’s are not meant to have have rhythm it shows in their dancing. Anyhow, after the raging success post-surgery; he has had to have some shocks directly to his heart to improve his rhythm. So whilst he is stable he is still not quite out of the woods yet.

    I saw him yesterday, venturing into London amidst the G20 protests (off which I only saw anything of in newspapers and the BBC website).  All those cables and tubes kinda made me think I have a USB Dad now. I’ll see if I can plug him into his PC when he gets home, maybe I’ll get the ‘This device can perform faster if you use a USB2.0 port’ message. There was numerous machines around him, all connected to a central power stem, thoughts of science fiction jumped to mind. So if not USB will he be assimulated or maybe a cylon infact? Sorry geek humour in bad times help me stay sane (ish). It’s the best conversation outside of hospital things i can come up with.

    Thanks to everyone for their support and kind words, espesically those people in London who are either under similar duress in the hospital and random meetings outside the hospital. Funny how fate deals the cards you need when you need them most.
