Cancelling home care

 Nice lady came today to give dad his pills.  He refused.  Refused lunch as well.  Went and got his own pills.  

I'm cancelling it. 

He can do the day program that's it.

He's on his own, eat whatever you want, take your pills or don't.  

Until he gets to completely invalid there's no point having a fight everyday.  I give up.

I've got pain in my chest, I cant sleep.  I'm on edge all the time.

There is no fucking way he's going into a home.  He won't go, he will refuse.

There is absolutely nothing I can fucking do.

I give up.  Stop this fucking merry go round and let me off.

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.

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...

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.
