Still lots to do

We have taken a bit of a break and are starting to slowly feel like ourselves again.  For 9 months we basically only talked about or did things for Dad.  

I don't expect that we will be back to real normal for awhile, but we are working on it.

There is still quite a lot to do.  I can't just let myself stop and not work on things.  It will fall by the wayside if I don't do things.

Mostly there is a lot of financial stuff I need to work on.  The good news is dad isn't spending any money needless at this point.

There is also cleaning up the house, and his leftover things.  

I'd like to grab a few more things for his room, a tv, some books an extra painting or picture or 2.

I also need to get a hold of the funeral home, as dad's name is tied to the family plots.  Hopefully that isn't a fiasco.  Most things have been so, I am guessing it will be as well.

I'm going to call him at the home today to check in.  Tomorrow I'm going to stop by for a visit for a bit.  Bring him some goodies.

He apparently has a girl who is a friend.  Didn't take him long !  It's good though, they chat a lot.

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.

Attempting a diagnosis

 I'm going to back track to the past few months and things that happened as time goes on.  While things are fresh I'll talk about them. The struggle to get a health card has taken months.  We got one rejection, and I've sent out more inquiries in hopes of moving forward.  I was told by the local health authorities that in order to get a diagnosis I need the card. Rock and a fucking hard place. While on vacation we spoke with our neighbor who suggested we goto emergency. Considering we are at our wits end, it seemed like a exemplary plan. We lie tell him we are going because of his sore knee and bad hearing. Eta on waiting was 13 hours.  He was ansy 35 minutes in.  There was no way it was going to work. Nurse triaged and confirmed dementia, him beating around the bush when asked questions.  He's sneaky.  Unfortunately confirmed during triage means nothing.  There was a strong likelihood of we stayed they would have admitted him to the psych wa...
