REALLY need advice right now...
I have just spent the last hour in a 'state' of shock, horror and panic.
My husband went missing!!
I was outside sweeping our steps, and he went on his little walk up our long driveway.
(HE HAS NEVER GONE FURTHER THAN THE KERB BEFORE.... and ALWAYS comes right back).
I looked up ... expecting him to appear... He was gone... no sign.
Ran to the neighbours.. no one in etc....
Could not see him up/down the road AT ALL....
and the 'speed' he walks at because of his stroke... he really could not have gone at all far.
So.. I called the police. I didn't know what else to do. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I was so worried.
At this point he was gone for about half an hour....
While still on the phone ... 'up he pops !' .... he'd been into a neighbours garden, and had just been talking...
He's never even talked to this neighbour before now....
I apologised to the police ... what more could I do?
He's now sat in the lounge next door saying "Euu what?", has NO idea of the worry he has just caused.
I've done my stern 'telling him off' .... telling him he really MUST tell if he is going to walk further... where he intends to go etc....
I'm now sat here in shock !!
Is this how things are going to be?
Am I going to have to 'supervise' him on ALL of his little walks?
Should I tell the Social Workers?
I've had my rant....
Just needed to tell someone....
Thanks
