From Floating Ribs to Feeble Reminisces

This narrative is part of a long saga that I’ve tried to avoid writing about for a long time but I feel the need to press on and move onto other things. It all started in late 2015 when flu season was in session and my Dad caught the bug and was holed up for weeks in bed. The following year; we tried to convince him to get a flu jab which he turned down; but he didn’t actually get sick until he returned home from a trip to Hereford in February; which for reason is a hotspot for this particular condition. It took ages to convince him to go to the doctor; but with another trip approaching (and this one being abroad) he knew he had to get himself checked out. The doctors first diagnosed him with a floating rib which was strange as he wasn’t feeling any abdominal pain. But after a blood test we had to take him to hospital immediately.
