Hi All
Feel awful at this moment just on the way to look at homes for some respite but in the back of my mind I feel that the next move will be permanent. Dad has vascular dementia and I have managed him with help and wonderful social services fantastic day centre but since a chest infection and now faecal impaction dad has gone seriously down hill to the point where he can;t weight bare screams and is aggressive if you try to move him out of bed etc. He has been having daily enemas and today we had a good result. I am just hoping that he improves a bit because if not I cannot move him on my own it is taking two carers we do have a hospital bed and all facillities but it is so hard on us all emotionally and physically.
I just wanted to write it down how i feel which is that I have given up and feel so bad about it because I know that no one will be able to look after him as well as us. Or maybe I just having found the place. I am sure we all feel like this at some point but isn't it awful
Thanks Everybody x
