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.

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.
