Thank you
@jennifer1967 .
Things are quieter now, although my Dad told me he fell over in the garden yesterday - he thought it was a great joke. He told me how he got back up becuase his friend told him to plant a garden fork in the ground to pull yourself up with. I now have visions of him impaling his foot on the fork. Sigh.
I was trying to get him to have a rail put in the kitchen by the step, where he fell. He says he may "think about it" but he does not really want it because "it is his house". I am all for supporting independence and have never forced him into anything.........but this is driving me up the wall.
I was texting my sister (who lives in Paris) ast night. I think we are not far off from a more serious crisis. He now falls regulalry and it may only be a matter of time before he really hurts himself. It's complicated becuause he is capable of an oscar-worthy perfromance of "nothing to see here", so I suspect he would be deemed to have capacity. Five minutes later, and he is having a conversation with "Rover", a ceramic dog, that appeared in the house from God knows where.
Confused, you will be.
Hoping to talk to his GP with afternoon about the Pacemaker. Which he has now decided he might want, as his neighbour has one. As you do.........
