Everything is a fight

 Came upstairs this morning to go to the bathroom and get ready for work.  He's busy slamming drawers in his room.  SOMEONE STOLE HIS WALLET! 

I calmly said, I need to go and I can help you afterwards.  

Everything is a fight. 

Went to the doctor yesterday, which wasn't great.  I talked with the doctor myself for a few minutes.  Told him he wasn't taking his pills etc.  Asked what was next for us.  We can technically drop him off at emergency and just say "we are done, caregiver failure".  By the sounds of it, it would not be a long term respite just a couple of days.  The doctor didn't have any notes about home care, basically he's waiting.  We can technically expedite the process by dropping him off. 

I talked about the bank and how they need something in writing.  He said he would gladly sign a piece of paper for the bank as dad should not be writing cheques.  Unfortunately  no official diagnosis. 

I'm honestly pissed off that no one will pull the trigger on this. 

I emailed the bank. 

I also dropped off the disability tax credit for the doc to fill out.  He will sign that! it's costing $100.  FFS.

dad told me the following in the car " he was asking me to take more pills, i don't want to.  he's just trying to make extra cash.  I'm going back to Alberta".  He also asked about his drinking and Dad straight up lied about it, as per conversation in car on way home. 
he thanked me for taking him and said he was sorry he was a pain. 

I have my reservations about saturday, but whatever.  We will see what happens.  

I'll continue to try and "have a good day".

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.
