My dad who I love. Now In hospital on end of life care. In a bed waiting and unresponsive but still breathing.... just about.. I've sat with him for hours watching his every breath. It's exhausting!! Full of infection, pneumonia and (dementia) down the bottom of the list. No one actually dies from dementia do they? It's always something else....
Three years in a care home. From day one he hated it. But was unable to look after himself - left me with no option. Having small children myself I found myself in an impossible situation .... the only daughter.... Who made all the decisions.
Finally we are here. Shipped off to hospital over a week ago in a highly stressful way.
The nurses in hospital are lovely and caring. Doctors and meds available on tap. I was offered to fast track my dad back this care home to rest in peace, but it's the easter weekend.... Staff shortages etc. etc Say no more. I'm happy he stayed where he is.
My dad is so sleepy now, he will slip away. Im will miss him so much.... But for him it's what he wanted....
Xx
