Hi All
This morning the carers came and told us Dad's face was covered in blood, of course we went to sort it out.
Dad had a bursted nose, we don't know how it happened. Did he fall, did he bump into something, did Mum throw or hit him with something? We don't know, we have looked for blood where he might have fallen walked into something and can't find anything.
However, that isn't the problem. We thought he needed a stitch in the gash on his nose, so took him to A & E. After various tests they said his heart was slow 39but older people had a slower heart beat than normal, so have kept him in the emergency care ward for monitoring. The gash on his nose was not priority and other than glue, it was OK
Meanwhile I have Mum terrified because Dad isn't here. She is refusing to take her jacket or boots of. She is going to that place to get Dad
After having been in A & E for 6 + hours trying to pacify Mum and stop her plaguing the receptionists, then stop her pulling all of the monitoring wires from Dad, I am exhausted.
It was a waste of energy stopping Mum from pulling the wires, because apparently when my Daughter visited to-night, Dad had removed all wires 4 times, so the only one they were persevering with was the heart one.

How the H--- do I get him to keep the monitor in place at home, when they can't do it in hospital. I am not blaming the staff, they are doing their best.
