Hi Sue, yes Alan died of sepsis in the end but it pushed his dementia along. I still can't believe he has gone it will be a year on march 8th don't know where time has gone. From going into hospital on feb 2nd 2021 and then on to a care home everything happened so fast for us He just stopped eating and drinking I couldn't see him because of the covid but I was there at the end with him he was 68. Like your dad he had no quality of life and he used to say 'I have had enough now' it was heart breaking to watch him deteriorate so quickly. I can imagine how you and your mum are feeling, there is never a minute go by that he isn't in my thoughts
Apart from having high blood pressure now (which is no surprise) I am well. They say to keep busy which is what I did in the early days thou I can't remember much about it, I think I had brain fog. I find that as time goes by I can seem to concentrate better. I will have to return back to work later in the year, I decided to take some time away after what had happened but I am ready for it now. You and your mum need to look after each other now plenty of rest eat well take regular exercise and remember your dad with good memories. It will be hard at first because all you have at the moment are memories of what he was like but it will fade away and you will be able to have a laugh thinking about things before your dad had dementia. Once again my condolences to you and your family. Take care Angela xxx
