After 4 terrible days and nights of wandering, anxiety,complete confusion, the medical opinion is Trevor had a mini stroke, may have been brought on by a fall he had last Monday. Emergency dr gave him diazepam in the middle of the night which gave him his first long spell of sleep all the week.however the Psy Nurse and dr called and thought he ought to be admitted for assessment for few days and to give me a rest. They would call for him this morning and take us both to the hospital to settle him in etc.
Suitcase packed and we all ready to go and the nurse arrives to say the bed has gone and as Trevor looks as though he has turned the corner she cant see on what basis she can try to admit him, although she did appreciate my break was gone out of the window.
And this is where the guilt kicks in again..I feel so wound up because I wasn't having that break that I seem to have lost sight of the fact that Trevor is improving.
Having said that, it is typical of this illness I find, that whilst the Nurse was here this morning Trevor appeared bright and managed a few jokes with her..now she is gone, 30 minutes later he is asking me when are we going home and back to looking at odds with the world again.
Am definitely now researching sitters so thank you Helen and everyone for your help and advice with this.
Aaaaaaaaagh...there that should help. thanks for listening again!
