Brief update

 It seems I'm extending the time between visits to basically three weeks.  I just can't handle it anymore.  I'm very hard on myself and I know that I'm not doing my best.  I'm not caregiving.

Nothing has happened with long term care yet.  At some point the money will run out.

Maybe it was a bad decision to put him in that place?

From what I gather no other place will take him.  Based on his behaviour.  I'm currently on no lists that I know of.  

I don't believe he has officially been paneled yet.  Although when it gets done , they back date from the time he started supportive housing.

I'm really at a loss.  

I have a call in to the funeral home for a meeting next week to arrange things for the future.

They called back and I haven't had the ability to call them again.  Nerves I guess?

Going to email home care tomorrow and see if there is any news.

There is sooooo much I should be doing.  I should be doing what I was doing when he was here.  On the phone all day.

I just don't have the energy anymore.

It's all going to fall apart and I will be the only one to blame.

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.

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...

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.
