Frightened about my future - part 2.

di3004

Thank you my darlings and for my Rose SW and everyone else too.:kisses3::grouphug:

I feel for anyone else having to go through this with their families as well.

We are not able to visit dad now today they said, but hopefully tomorrow now.
The ambulance service picked him up from the care home and dropped him off at the unit.

He is actually the youngest (age 69) now at the care home, but did start settling down well, bless.
So they are going to see how he gets on in the next fortnight at the unit, if he continues to refuse his meds, they said about sectioning him again, this happened last year as well.
But due to a number of illnesses alongside with vasular dementia, they do have a job keeping up, they admitted that at the care home today.

Fingers crossed things will be sorted soon.;)

I am sure it must be a great worry for you, Di.

At least he is being looked after the professionals so you know that he is in safe hands there. But 69 is no age for him to be going through all this!

Big hugs!

Di is your family coping with this or are you the main carer?

never-in-doubt

Time for a chuckle - Best Ever DCA Offer?

Made me laugh so much (I dribbled) :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

That's right.

He was diagnosed about 5 years ago, but before that he suffered a brain illness called ecephalitis, then had a stroke on top of that & heart attack, however he came out of the stroke physically okay but more damage done mentally.
And yet he can have his good moments when he's himself again.

Since the age of 40 he have been back and forth in hospital, and it all started with his breathing, he was diagnosed with lung disease emphsema (ex coal miner you see)....then onto other major health issues (too many to list) but we feel he have been traumatised from this which have got him to where he is now bless him.

(He is known at the general hospital as a miracle man - we have lost him 4 times and he came back every time);)

And I can still remember how independent he was, always on the go, helping others and always putting himself last.

Oops sorry, do I sound depressing?:eek::o

Sorry, don't mean to LOL. XX

Hi honey.

My 2 other sisters were carers of mum and dad, while I am the main full time carer for my son with needs, but we all pull together.;)

So since dad been away from home my mum still continues to have care etc, she is finding it difficult and missing dad so much being home as well.X

No Di,

You don't sound at all depressing!

Your dad (and, of course, you) have had so much to put with for so long. It does make you realise how important health is - it puts all this money (or lack of it!) stuff into perspective.

I am so touched that you can share it with us and only hope that it helps a bit to be able to talk about it freely
