Finally some good news

 Yesterday my wife and my mom went to check out a supportive housing place.  They had to do another assessment.  It was emotional and difficult but went well.

Sounds like the place is very nice.  

Looks like they will admit him.

From what I gather we can move him in sometime in late December.  Now to explain it.

He thought he was there for a job interview.  When he came home he thought that my wife was moving in there.

I know the idea of moving him before Christmas is a bit crazy,but honestly we are not celebrating at all this year.  We are just too tired.

We will probably have to buy some furniture and things.

I'm so thankful for my wife and my mom for doing that.

It's a temporary solution, not long term affordable.  He will get paneled and then be on a list for better care moving forward.

It sorta is like time served.

He's been in a good mood the last few days and more present.  I think because he has had things to do and people to meet.  I feel like this will be really good for him.

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.
