Good heavens, Rookie. Man, this hasn't been on top for a long time...
Pop's doing..."ok". He's not retaining fluid quite like he had...but he's on a high does of diuretic (?) that makes him whiz constantly, which leands to a lot of issues.
His motor control is compromised and we think there are "mini strokes" occurring periodically to loose so much strength and motor coordination.
But he plugs along. I keep fighting with the home's management team. They're way under staffed and blame the part-time help that come in without any time to read charts.
Tis a shame-ful mess. But it's better than many and dad doesn't complain.
Lord is in charge. I just paid movers to pack the rest of his drivvel and move it to storage per his request. He'll never go back, but now the apartment is ready to clean and turn back to the institution and save him some money. Should have done it long months ago, but kept thinking I could handle it alone. I couldn't.
Thanks for the bump. If you know of a nursing facility near-by, spend an hour here or there and visit. I go every day and seldom see another family member visit any of hte other patients...in 6 months! :(
