As some of you may recall Dad has Alzheimers and has been in hospital for over a week now having a cancer lump removed, having most of his ear and some of his side burns cut away, and a graft that looks like a large raw chicken breast stapled to the side of his face.
The hospital have just rang to say they want to discharge Dad so he is in familiar surroundings asap, but as he's been in hospital he's totally lost to where he is.
I'm unsure as to how mum and me will initially cope, as soon as he is home, ie he has a large stitched cut on the throat, that he could do a lot of damage to if he sneaks off for a shave etc.
The hospital say they have notified social services that we may need help. Mum's on her way to the local Azlzheimers Society office as she's in a panic like I am on what to do.
I don't know if any of you have been through something like this and have experience, or if it's just a case of riding the storm till we get sorted
