In the space of a few days I've been told my dad is at the end of life all his Meds have been stopped by doctor and he only has morphine for pain relief. A week ago he was fine mobile enjoying his meals with fellow residents then Wednesday 29th they thought he had a urine infection and was in some pain he had a couple of falls a few weeks ago but no injuries so doctor was called but she didn't come Thursday she did come but said he was ok Friday she was called again because he was worse she stopped all his Meds and said he was at the end of life and not o try feeding him unless he asked for food just keep him comfortable. I'm devastated how did this happen so soon I'm struggling to come to terms with this yesterday I did feed him fish and peas and ice cream he enjoyed it and drank a little to now morphine has kicked in and nurse give him another drug to settle him so today he sleeps all the time so not eaten or hardly drank. I always thought he would have at least a few happy years in his care home he's been there 10 months had trips out party's it's a lovely place I see him now and cant believe this is so sudden is this the way it happens
