Just settling at home and looking forward to a shandy. Then I got a phone call to say dad had been sick twice. Dad had remained in bed all day today at his request. They got him out to use the commode but couldn’t get him up using the Sara Stedy so had to use the Stand Aid as he is too weak. It has now been changed on the care plan to use the Stand Aid for the commode.
I arrived to find him looking flushed but quite chirpy. Apparently he has brought his medication up as well.. He is quite confused and keeps confusing facts but he is safe.
I have asked them to keep him in bed tomorrow but I bet he will want to get up. Always the opposite is dad. If he gets up he will be sore and wanting to go back to bed as he always does now , just after dinner.He is heading towards being bed bound but there is nothing to be done. At 88 we can only do what we can do.
