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.

After 3 months progress starts

 I'm going to be in a phone meeting today with the hospital.  Dad is finally being panelled.  He will be moving to a long term care facility very soon.  It will be the first available bed.  After that I can pick the place, I intend for him to goto holy family. Because of his wandering and aggressive behaviour he is being fast tracked and will need to goto a extreme care place.  Not just a regular Ward. This week I have to slowly clean up his current place and get compression socks. I went to a mobility clinic but they told me they couldn't full the prescription without being able to measure him.  I asked a nurse and she gave me an alternative place.  One where I don't have to haul him out of the hospital.

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.

My current mental state is complete shit

 In the last day I've had multiple calls from the home.  Typically they leave these really quiet messages that sound very anxious like I need to call right fucking now. I spoke with the home today after spending 20 minutes building myself up to make the call. Dad update:  he's barely eating, looks like hell, refuses to shave, is sleeping often. I attempted to book him in for a haircut but I think he refused. I also believe that he has not let them touch his laundry in months.   I have no idea when he last showered. The last asked me to book an appointment with his doctor. Took me another 20 minutes to call his doc. The office is closed today and tomorrow. Next week I have another assessment for him.  I'm worried he's going to freak out and punch the guy. I will likely have to take a day off work and take him to the doctor.  I'm sure they don't make house calls anymore. The next time a doctor is coming to the home is October. Of course his doctors offic...
