Earlier this year I saved my dads life, probably one of the most harrowing experiences, even though it wasn't gruesome or owt, when it's family it really hits you hard.

He's diabetic, and I met him on a Saturday morning for a natter and a bit of shopping, he walked round the supermarket like he was drunk or drugged - well mad, as he is tea total and has never touched drugs, and I couldn't work out what was up with him. I asked him several times and he just didn't reply, which worried me further. I'd just finished a nightshift and wasn't 'with it' myself fully, and we got to the bread section and he knocked one of the displays flying, and I grabbed him, took him to one side and told him to stay put, spotted a member of staff who I called over and they got him a wheelchair to get him over to the first aid room.

He just sat there with his eyes shutting and it was like it wasn't me dad at all, almost like he'd been taken over by this zombie who was just sat there, eyes all kinda greyed out and closing.

Anyway, they'd called the paramedics, who arrived rapid, and as they were asking me a few questions, I said "oh, he's diabetic" and wondered if he'd done his morning injection ok, so they did a test and he was far too low blood sugar, so they said they'd have to give him sommat sweet, quick to see if that helped, else he'd go into a coma

I had to keep talking to him and several times he tried to look at me, but he didn't even know who I was, and wouldn't eat anything, so me and the paramedics had to force him to eat some kit kat and drink down some lucazade, which he hated

It didn't do any good as the level had hardly gone up, so they had to get him to hospital to go on a drip.

So there's us, bundled into the ambulance, heading off to Stepping Hill at top speed fucking gave me the fear.

And all the time I'm talking to him to make sure he stays with it, one of the hardest things to do that was.

Hospital eventually managed to get him on a drip and get the levels right, and at around lunch time he was allowed back home, so I got a taxi back to his and made sure he was ok, then got back home meself, but which time it was 2pm and I was fooked after all that, got into bed and burst into tears

Thanks Lisa! I just put it down to luck of the draw though really - shit happens in life and you have to deal with it...There was no decision to make really, he'd do it for me kinda of thing and he's now got his life back - so its all good!

Plus he took me on a pucka holiday to recover!
