Chaos continues

 Sticking with the usual theme he's trying to find a job and wants to buy a car.  Likely before winter.

I can't find the time to work on housing applications or other things.  I feel guilty when I take time off for myself.  Yesterday I slept most of the day and I'm still exhausted.

Tonight I have to find some energy and call his bank.  Hopefully get somewhere.

Starting to feel like I need to get some pills.  I dunno. This is difficult.

I have no idea how to explain to him we will be putting him in a place. Good news is I have a lot of time, the waitlist are horrendous.

He got mad at my wife Saturday and walked all the way to my work to tell me.

This isn't good, it's affecting everything including work.

Notes for assessment

 I made some notes for the assessment folks, basic changes in the way he is.  I should note, this is rather depressing.  He gets fixated on something, and that is the only thing for a week or more.  At some point it changes to a new thing.  Examples include      • Using the phone, calling anyone in his phone book no matter that time of day (or day for that matter.  He calls people when they are at work).      • Trying to get a job.           ◦ Numerous times he’s gone to Fresh co, thinking he picked up an application, only to be sent home with a scene card membership form.       • Trying to sell his car.  (he doesn’t remember doing.  He believes the government took his license and car away).   He doesn’t know our names.  He thinks I am his brother.  He believes my wife is my sister somedays.  Other days just a relative.  He calls me “buddy...

Victoria again

 Dad has been moved to Victoria hospital, he has an infection and is being treated with antibiotics.  In the next week he will be getting another assessment.  (Fuck sakes).  From there I will be contacted by a psychologist.  There's a possibility he will be moved to long term care. He hasn't been taking care of himself at all, which is why he has an infection. I'm beating myself up because I couldn't get him to shower or change his clothes. I'll go and see him in the next few days.

At st.boniface

The supportive housing place doesn't think they can take care of dad anymore. I didn't sleep well last night, maybe got 2 hours (Sunday).  My anxiety is bad. Got the call that he needs to goto emergency.  Left work at 1, my mom came with me. Looks like dad has a UTI.  Hopefully they can give him a bath and get him feeling better. He's currently sleeping.  We've been here since 6 pm and it is now 2 am.  Just had coffee. I don't know what the plan is at this point.
