Hello Everyone!
This time last week Dad was in hospital recovering from a hypo and now he is back in the care home permanently. I am emotional because of the memories but we couldn't go on like this with me to afraid to leave the house incase something happens or me finding dad in a coma after having a hypo in the night. His diet of saying that he's full after only a few mouthfuls was frightening given that he is diabetic eventhough I was putting snacks in front of him. I managed to sort out the third party top-up and it seems there was a misunderstanding on the part of the social worker. I then confirmed dad's position with the home before phoning my brothers. My youngest brother who has made some silly remarks about the whole situation was very understanding and says that he is now concerned about me. My other brother who lives two hundred and fifty miles away was upset and said that everything had been done without him.
I thought I had tried to keep him updated every step of the way and I was expecting a bit of sympathy or support because I was obviously upset on the phone. However he lectured me saying that the texts that I had been sending him and the phone calls were going from one thing to the other and that it had seemed that myself and my other brother had been doing things without him. I must admit that on Monday I informed both brothers that dad would be going into respite again because I was afraid for his safety and I said that dad would be going in the following day. I also sai
