One week after heart surgery and my father is pretty stressed due to caring for his mum who has dementia. Not only does she lock him out the house at night but also forgets he was ever in hospital and gets cross that no one told her about it. ( which of course we have, several times).
We have suggested dad recovers at one of our houses for the short term, but we are all concerned how this will affect Nan and her routines. A break in routine is causing her a great deal of upset even if for a day. Changes to my dads diet and the type of shopping she buys could be in achievable we feel.
We are all pretty new to this as nan is newly diagnosed. She does not have any outside aid yet and family are all of different opinions as to what is best. ( adding to everyone's stress)
Anyone out there been in a similar situation?
Would love to hear from you.
