Wednesday update

 Monday was a shit show.  Before I got home my wife saw dad outside without his bike.  She asked where it was.  He sold it.  She told him that it wasn't his to sell.  We lent it to him.  

He got mad and stormed off.

By the time I got home he was walking in the door with two bottles of wine.  I got her side of the story.

I went down to talk to him and he was irate.  Said she called him names , he called her a bad word.  I was calm, listened and replied with "she didn't say that" etc.

He said he was just going to sit downstairs and drink himself to death.

I let him cool off while we had supper.

After an hour I went and checked on him.  The whole time I was worried.

We talked and he was better.  He's Lonely and depressed.  We ended up sitting downstairs for awhile and then moved up.

My poor wife stayed away and sat in the bedroom.  Our house is too small.

After talking with her the last few days we've come to the conclusion that if something comes up I'll be the one to deal with it.  She's become the bad guy, and that is not fair.  It's partially because of the tone of her female voice and having to talk loud for him.  He takes it the wrong way.

It upsets me that she has to now only say please thank you, good morning etc only.  Atleast she feels that way.  She's trapped in her own house.

As am I.

I spent the last day and a half on the phone with CRA and the bank.  I actually got hung up on this morning.  

Sent out a housing application today.  

The bank asked me why it took so long to get a new cc.  I said to the lady have you dealt with this?  It's not easy.  My whole day off is filled with shit.

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.

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.
