If you’re inclined that way, and feel like doing so, say a prayer for a large Aussie’s Dad.

70 years old and does everything for everyone. A bunch of volunteer stuff, Meals on wheels, community transport for sick people needing to get to sydney for chemo etc, plus local lands council looking after the heritage areas near our family home... which equals a lot of manual labor and grant writing applications etc.... successfully too, just got a shit load of money for new tennis courts, club-house and the town reservoir to be extended.

Anyways, he’s a tough old bastard who does too much and doesn’t look after himself enough. Mum just called and he’s struggling to breath, taken to hospital in an ambo. He collapsed the other day and has been pretty crook since getting a Flu shot....Ive seen him beaten down and he’s never even muttered help so him asking for an ambo is a bit scary.

He’s a bloody good bloke, a great Pa Pa to my Kids and has always been my hero, if you can please say a prayer for Paul.

Hey lads, just a quick update and a thank you. Dad is doing better. He was rushed in to town in the ambo, oxygen on etc... his O2 saturation levels were really low and he was getting light headed again. Anyhoo, all night on the tank, more drugs and because of a lack of beds has been sent home again.

It was determined as influenza A. Fucking hard to believe the flu can do what it does, especially after getting a shot. But there has been quite a few deaths here already this year, and at 70 when someone passes out and hits the deck and a day or so later you can barely breathe, it is scary shit.

Hopefully everyone thinks their Dad is as great as I do mine (If you do, tell him!), and if not, I hope you can try to be a great Dad one day. It has definitely made me appreciate him and Ma even more, and them their health – Mum is determined to reign their few vices in a bit and make Dad take some time to relax. He's a workaholic even though he retired over ten years ago.

Appreciate again your thoughts, I was shit scared for sure and needed some others to help him get better. Cheers and much appreciated!!!
