Nice lunch today

 I picked up Dad and we went for a walk to altos for a burger.  I called yesterday to let him know and he was waiting for me when I got there.

He was very cheery and talkative.  We had a few good conversations.  I had to redirect him a bit (a skill I didn't know that I had).  He kept saying his foot was bugging him and that he would just go over the hill to the place to talk to the guy.

I said I needed help carrying in a box for him from my truck.  I sneakily left it in there.

Thankfully he forgot about the hill and the guy.

I spoke with the aids and he is doing well.  I honestly think the hospital scared him a bit.

I have to do some money arrangements and apply for subsidy there.  It would be nice if he can stay there for the time being.  It is quite expensive.

Provided he is okay, etc.  

We ordered a basic burger and they ended up bringing us a double!  He ate it all hahahha.

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.
