my father in law has had dementia for a while now and we have seen a rapid decline in him over the last few months but last sunday we could have a conversation (short but he knew what we were talking about etc) and could get around ( shuffling but still using his stick) but he had seemed to be acting like he was drunk( but wasn't) for a couple of weeks.. just not with it really is all I can explain it as
he didn't seem very well on mon and the doc came out tues and admitted him into hospital at which point he wasn't great, but the docs can find nothing wrong with him and want to discharge him. hes not the same person that went in, he cant move, cant really talk or eat or do anything its soul destroying to see.
they are saying its late stages of dementia, but my question is this I guess, can he really change so much in 4 days from dementia ?? if so what does the future hold, does that mean the end is going to come as quick? or could it still last for ages.
he lives at home with us but right now I can not see how he can stay this way but the worse he is the more we want him at home.
feeling very lost and confused with it all how can things change so quickly so badly
