Arrived at dad’s this morning. Dripping wet as it was raining. Dad did not realise it was raining even though I was rubbing my hair with a towel. He asked “Is it raining?”.
I assisted him into the dining room using his gutter frame and then into his wheelchair. He couldn’t eat all of his lunch today. He is also very quiet. He has been yawning a lot of the time since I arrived. I have now sat him in the conservatory so he can listen to the radio and maybe have a kip. I have asked him does he feel ok. He says he feels tired but slept ok(I doubt it as he does not sleep a lot at night). I have suggested maybe to have some shut eye. There is not much conversation today. I can feel everything is an effort today,including his walking.. I have noticed in his care plan that he is declining to walk sometimes.
He has a chest X-ray in the hospital on Thursday as doctor has requested it(I mentioned to doc that he is coughing more. Dad has heart failure as well as kidney disease amongst other things) so maybe he is worried about that.At least he is drinking his ensures.
