Hi all
My Dad is going for his gall bladder removed on Friday, they do not keep him in, apparently I have to stay at his home with him overnight (not possible) or he has to stay with me (no!) I am already giving him injections to prepare his blood for the opp.
I am with him every day for 5 to 7 hrs, I refuse to give anymore.
Dad is blind and has frontal lobe dementia and vascular dementia, he had his gall bladder drained Dec 2011 and suffered a stroke and delerium and the dementia advanced at an alarming rate.
There is me as his carer and my son helps with emergency's but we are 10 mile from Dad, I have told the nurse at pre opp I am not taking him home after opp if he is not right, does anyone have any advice? SS have been no help and I believe Dad is quite advanced.
Thanks
