dad is in hospital and i am hoping for him to come home soon...........i feel like i want to be there for him but dont know if i could cope...........5 weeks ago he was fairly independent but since being in hospital after some psycoticepisodes he has gone downhill re mobility and continence.i want to say that if i get him home i could work on his mobility and maybe his continence as he used to go to the toilet less than me such a short time ago..maybe think its easier to put a pad on him as he doesnt see the button well and he would be to slow to go to the bathroom at night.........he wasnt wearing a pad yesterday...........he is waiting for a bed at rehab but it is taking so long it feels.........he has gone off his food a bit and is confused when they give him a list of choices......i work full time as a scaffolder and i could easily leave as he would be self funding until the money ran out. A care home would cost more than i earn a week and would they look after him as well as me..................its just so difficult. i would really like to hear from anyone who was in a similar opinion. or anyone that has any thoughts on the matter
