Hi Di, not to worry, you have loads on your mind.:A;)XXX

Dad calm again today and this evening, his BP was low but better to be that than high I think, but will explain his tiredness, although I think they are trying him on new meds as well.
Thanks for asking XXX

Its no wonder you are feeling down. Its bad enough your dad being ill but being ill and needing another hospital bed in a better environment for him too and not being able to get one is enough to make you double worried. You will be a little better when he is settled.

Yes your right Marshallka, it's getting to that stage now, can't think straight and so, the waiting and the keeping on, like you said it will be better once they have sorted this out for the right hospital and environment etc, thank you.:A;)

My sister Deb said that he was actually talking logically today, some things have come to my mind and wondering if he is also suffering with some post traumatic stress, which have not helped, he have been through so much as from a young lad, but things I cannot actually say on here either as there is more to it, but they say people with dementia love talking about their younger times, but with dad with what he says is what he can remember was not nice times, sad really.
But like you said, he will eventually settle down and things should start looking up again soon, fingers crossed XXXX

Glad you have a large family to each take time to help and sharing the responsibilty. Hope its sorted for you soon and your other problems too. You have a lot to deal with Di.

My daughter had to go for blood tests again for low BP. She gets dizzy when getting up and banging heads. It was the week before our hols and she had told me quite a few times so I did her BP. It was really low (and yet hypertension runs in our family like yours too). Anyway they asked her to go down the docs and they did her BP and it was low. They sent her for blood tests (came back fine) but have said she has to sit on the edge of the bed before rising. The doc said lots of young ladies (she is 13 next month) get it with hormones.

Low BP can make you dizzy but also it can be through dehydration so make sure your dad is drinking lots.

Awe bless your daughter, being so young to go through all this, but now you can rest now that they have checked her out, good one.;)

Yes your right and was thinking the same, sometimes dad does need to be reminded to drink more fluids, I will make a point of telling the family the same on every visit, good thinking Marshallka, cheers again.;)
Hope your daughter is okay now too XXX
