Feeling really sad tonight as Dad can no longer use the TV controller. His only pleasure for years has been getting into bed to watch TV at night. His favourite programme has been Millionaire I managed to get him to understand how to get the channel turned over but it took some doing to explain how to turn it off when I just rang him back. He was pressing the buttons on the telephone. Got there in the end though.
Just keeps getting worse doesn't it?
When I got to dad's this morning he was in his chair not been in his bed despite a carer leaving him sat on the side. I know this is a problem for many people but isn't it horrible to realise that he had been sat there for 15 hours in his pants and vest. The worse thing is that I rang him at 2215 to check on him he said he was in bed. Or did i just think that was what he said?
God i get so sad sometimes.
